At the time Jesus spoke those words, enterpreneurship and wealth-creation through invention did not exist. The only way to amass a fortune was through the exploitation of slave labor.

Within his frame of reference, Jesus was right. Doesn't mean the logic still holds today.

Chips has a point about context. In Jesus's context, capital was created for individuals through the exploitation of mens labour and production. Today capital is created through......... oh.

It seems to me that the people most adept at earning money are the same ones who worship it. And yes, I'll agree that they usually vote republican.

Republicans are more self-reliant, you're right. They are typically also more self-centered, self-absorbed, and self-serving (not to mention self-righteous). Sure, they don't need to waste their precious gold pieces on foolish things like labor unions, and welfare systems, or most other social institutions... because if it doesn't concern them directly, WHO THE FUCK CARES? Oh sorry, did I make a generalization? Yeah, I guess now we're even.

And please, let's not pretend that your sweet chocolatey comments wrapped in the delicious casing of 'personal life experience' was anythign less than a deragatory and declarative statement made against the work ethic of liberal Americans.

Horse shit. Im not sure Ive met 4 people who were democrats doing charity work ....perhaps they were sitting at home engulfed in their victim mentalities?

You�re just wrong, get over it but feel free to perpetuate gross mistruths in the name of mindless fashion eh?

You mean... there are REPUBLICANS where you live??? Holy shit, all this time I thought they were a myth, delegated to the slums of the deep south and the main streets of shitty little New Hampshire.

This is one of the things that I truly admire Liberals for, never having any of these bad traits, especially being self-righteous.
