I am not sure I am following you, but I will react to some of your statements of interest:

If Capitalism is reduced to the "trading of commodities," I will agree with you. During the end-time "Babylon," EVERYTHING will be sold, including the "souls of men." God will destroy that system for ever. However if "Private Property" is immoral, I know of no alternative means of pursuing life, liberty, and happiness in this life. With Freedom comes Responsibility. But, of course, "Life does not consist of the things you possess." All ownership is temporary.

Do you recommend socialism or even communism?

Thou shalt not steal, kill, or covet. We know who came to "steal, kill, and destroy." It is not a sin to be rich: Unless, I suppose, you waste it. Was that your point?

Is it a sin to exploit and steal from people in order to be rich? An economic system without ethics hurts a lot of people and for what? To be rich?

I hope that my answer is clear in my above statements. Our Founding Fathers said that "Only Christians -- having its power and principles -- can bear the responsibility of living by our Constitution." And most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence paid the price -- they lost everything in the process.

"Love does no harm to his neighbor: Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

Well said but they will never listen. Independence Day is coming, which will release those of us who give to others and it will bring hell to the greedy political force in power.

"The entire modus operandi of the far-right grifters (Trump and his billioniare buddies) is to rage against the liberal elites (THEY are the Elites - having MORE money than anyone in America and the world) who supposedly control society (the Lie about the Deep State - that they NOW are in the process of creating with only their loyalists in any position. Imagine calling the VA and being told, I can't help you, I don't know what I am doing, AND I do NOT work for you, I work for Trump), don the mantle of the plain, virtuous People (who they are preparing to RIP OFF and bleed dry of every single penny) and then claim that only they (worship of one man - some how I do NOT believe God is looking down and approves) have the cure to what ails the People - if the People will simply provide their credit card numbers (and give themselves GIGANTIC TAX BREAKS courtesy of the Trump Tax Cuts - all the while telling the plain folk that the GIGANTIC TAX BREAKS of the Trump Tax Cuts that they will get are good for you plain folk)". The Financial Rape of America on steroids!!!!

Tiffany, I appreciate your frankness in telling the story of this person who is our President. No sugar coating from you-hear the cries of mothers and children being separated, seeing blood in the water-the sad truth of Project 2025 IS happening! Thank you for your honesty in telling what is REALLY happening!
