Capitalism

I have heard so many Christians that have misconceptions about capitalism that they actually see capitalism as a means to promote greed and corruption.

These misconceptions are based on an all out assault by the left thinking theologians that characterize capitalism as the root of all evils rather than the what it really is, the use of God given wisdom. There is a strong moral case that capitalism is superior over other economic alternatives. My case in point, take one look at countries such as China, Russia, and North Korea.

Because of the requirement of capitalism causing one to have to work hard and think even harder, capitalism promotes self motivation and in it’s truest form, the dependence of counsel with the One True God. Wealth is created and when done in the God given standards of moral ways, it does not leave a fellow person poor.

Truly helping those that are poor is helping all have an economy that creates wealth. Having an economy create wealth is undertaking an economic policy with economic actions that promote people to work hard. In short when someone is down on their luck give them a hand up, not a hand out.

For far to long, the economic policies of those that are in government have left those middle class people sadly but simply put forgotten. Getting back to basic "Capitalistic Economics" is a good start.

Unfortunately the batteries in Washington right now are stone cold dead. To no surprise the politicians are so far out of touch they could not possibly understand how the average Joe the Plumber is dealing with it.

Christians should not to buy into these negative stereotypes about capitalism. What they should buy into are candidates where real change will occur. A change that embraces the founding principals that made the United States of America a truly great country: Capitalism.

As long as there are Democrats and Republicans that is nothing more than a lost cause.

And exactly what were all of you thinking November 4, 2008?
