The teachings of Jesus Christ and the ideology of capitalism are mutually exclusive. Based on greed, materialism, and exploitation of fellow human beings capitalism is the antithesis of Christianity. This simple song is immensely powerful and a lot deeper than it seems on the surface. Indeed, the robber barons of Wall Street and their lackeys in the White House and on Capitol Hll would nail Christ to the cross and lay him in his grave if he preached today. - Mike

I never met a far right wing christian who proved to be anything other than a liar, a cheat, an ignoramus, a warmonger, a sexual pervert, and a thief. If your looking for any real christianity anywhere in this country, you're far more likely to find christian behavior amongst a bunch of hippies or poor black baptist folk than in a 30,000 member stadium sized right wing nut job church in Denver. The far right soils and destroys any good thing it touches with it's demonic filth..

Failure to understand basic Economics is nothing to be ashamed of. Denying scientifically proven Classical Economic Theory from a stand point of absolute ignorance is insane.

As an atheist I can confidently say that I love this song.

@waketheoblivious Capitalism is an economic system and has nothing to do with "Freedom, Liberty & Justice For All." Nazi Germany's economic system was capitalist as is Saudi Arabia's today. Neither is a poster child for "Freedom, Liberty & Justice." Your babbling is just proving to everyone how ignorant you really are. It is also giving everyone a headache! lol

Final comment, Merle Haggard is an incredibly talented, warm, loving man who very likely has had his own trials and tribulations. He delivers this song with all of his heart, soul and mind as he did with so many of his wonderful songs. He doesn't sing songs about doing it his way, he sang songs about doing the right thing and the consequences of failing that responsibility. He survived celebrity as a humble man with enormous talent. "no one could teach me right"? Someone, damn sure did.

Several of the Apostles/Disciples were wealthy land owners, who sold properties to help finance their travels. "To give in abundance, one must have in abundance." Giving in abundance, is certainly not a sin. Giving is a commendable act. Self Interest pitted against Self Interest in a Free Market generates abundance. Conversely, that same Self Interest in a Controlled Market Economy (Socialism/Communism) guarantees scarcity, shortages. Natural Laws are God's Laws/rules, do the "right thing".
