economic systems? political systems?
Does God have a preference in these matters? Politicians at all levels seem to think God does, or at least they behave that way. If I could design a little informal survey and get every GOP presidential candidate to answer it, here's what I would put before them.
**********
Dear Candidate, here are two statements for your consideration:
A) Free-market Capitalism is God's preference for an economic system.
B) Representative Democracy is God's preference for a political system.
Considering the above, please answer the following two questions:
1) Do you agree with either or both of the above statements as being true?
2a) If yes, on what basis do you come to that conclusion?
2b) If no, then why do you behave as if they are true?
***********
Every GOP candidate in the race would say that he/she is against socialism (even if prosperous), or against dictatorship (even if benevolent). But on what basis would they say those things? Does the same source they look to for guidance on "family values" issues also speak to issues of economics and governance? I think it does. But what does that source indicate as a preference in these matters?
Hm... I have a theory about that. Does anyone else?
