Inequality is President Obama's highest priority, but his solutions are wholly naive.
Disparities between rich and poor are as ancient as civilization, but in modern democracies, this condition is exacerbated by globalization and technologies that drive it.
Successive advances in communication and transportation, for example, permit top opera singers, athletes and other professionals to reach wider audiences and earn incomes many times greater than their peers do.
Before the radio, phonograph and moving pictures, virtually every city, small and large, had an opera house or music hall that offered live entertainment. The top stars sang in New York, London and Milan and earned considerable wealth, but many local performers and traveling journeymen could earn a decent living too.

Jesus said "the poor" will always be with us. hmmmmm. this is addressed throughout the bible. in the old and new testament there are stories regarding the poor and those that could not take care of themselves.
ReplyDeleteone of the main solutions was for the farmers to leave 10% of the harvest each year. those that were poor could then glean the fields for their own benefit. now as you can see, they had to work for their food.
the "churches" of that day helped the poor just as we do today.
there really is NOTHING new under the sun. these issues are ancient and have been with us for a long time. the government is NOT the answer. never has been and never will be. in fact they are the problem.
anonymous 8:04, OMG, are you serious? Obama has finally done it. Do you also wear knee pads when you buff Obama's shoes?
ReplyDeleteNot the only thing he has been naive about.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT naivete!! This is another carefully calculated plot to create dissention and confusion while Ob' is destroying our country from within. Hitler did it best.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think you didn't understand my point. The bible never teaches us to let the "state" help the poor. again; examples were given throughout the scriptures as to how the poor were helped.
ReplyDelete1. Leave 10% of the harvest in the fields so the poor can glean (work) to get their food.
2. The "church" of that day helped one another when there were needs.
3. Most had no problem, but Jesus did tell us the poor will ALWAYS be with us.
4. No where does the bible instruct the "state" to help the poor and you don't see this in the bible.
I will never buff "o's" shoes. Again; I think you misunderstood my comment.
