This is great, brainouty, thanks.
It has a principle of social justice, which I think extreme Libertarianism lacks.
-
Well, from what I can tell God was free-market with social conscience behind it. Look at Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28, Malachi 3, Psalm 82, Ephesians 6, all of Philemon, most of Job's speeches. Always the stress on noblesse oblige. So if you had wealth you were expected to honor God with it, and you didn't honor God by despising the poor, James 1:21-2:10 (I exegete it from the Greek in my James2 playlist if that interests you, esp. last 12 videos).

What would God say today, I wonder.
-
Agreed.

Okay, well I'm not THAT extreme. I had forgotten how 'extreme' it used to be. Even God is not that extreme. :) He just never interfered with local civil law, and for example you'll see Paul urge Philemon to free his runaway slave Onesimus. So slavery was tolerated but even in Israel you couldn't keep an Israelite a slave for more than six years, so of course most who became slaves, would become Israelites. :)

Thanks very much, tmot. One of my extremist Libertarian subscribers no doubt down-starred me! :)
Glad you enjoyed the humor.

There's a great mutual fund, CEF (Central Fund of Canada). It's one half gold and one half silver. But many people like to own the physical metal rather than "paper" gold and silver.

The Libertarians take "private property" to the extreme just like the marxists take "pubic property" to the extreme.

Excellent points, Brainouty.
And I agree with much of what you say.
The Libertarians I was arguing with were very extreme. For instance, they wanted to repeal child-labor laws.
They took the concept of "self-ownership" to such an extreme that one of them favored allowing people to "volunteer" for slavery. That would result in the reintroduction of slavery.
So, it's this sort of extreme private property concept that I abhor.

Your message of what is practical is what Black Folk need to hear (and White folk).

I'm amazed that I went through 12 years of public education, and never learned about financial planning, or how to start a business to create self-employment. These really should be added to the curriculum. It's important knowledge.
