Without presuming to argue the religious questions addressed in the post, we were very interested in the conclusion of Poputonian's post at Rumproast, which takes a sharply incised line on the GOP conception of the free market.
[T]he
American system of free enterprise, which is now dominated by
hierarchical schemers and corporate thieves. The current administration
favors restricted competition, monopolies, oligopolies, and cartels
because it makes it easier to play the market, and because in the short
run it protects the big boys by stifling competition.
But the losers in the corrupted game are the workers (voters), including honest entrepreneurs and innovators, who are left frustrated and anxious by a system that rewards cheaters. Everyone is being eaten alive by the sharks in the water. The endless cycle of mergers and acquisitions keeps the money flowing up the pyramid, where it is then siphoned off for personal gain by pyramid-squatting CEOs.
So if the Democrats need to be righteous about something, and want something to reclaim from the opposition, I would say to reclaim the integrity of the marketplace, which this administration has utterly corrupted and destroyed. A marketplace free from abuse yields a symbiosis between a Republic and her people.
