[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6041426, member: 110123"] I hear ya man, I don’t want a communist system either. I enjoy my privacy, I’d rather own my house and land. I’m just wondering if maybe a true christian government would do more to lessen the wealth gap. The majority of Americans work hard without ever being billionaires, let alone millionaires. I don’t think people would stop working and inventing just because they couldn’t afford a private jet and yacht. Nikola Tesla died penniless and he was still inventing to his last days, most scientists and Nobel peace prize winners aren’t in it for the idea of being able to own a mansion with a bowling alley in it “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” It does make me wonder, if we had a true Christian government, would there be better systems in place to not allow the ultra rich. I guess another way to phrase my question for this topic would be to ask, at what point in the system does the wealth gap become too much where things need to change? [/QUOTE]
