capitalists not all greedy

money can be neutral
political systems may be neutral


it is the human mind that when
it is MADE UP produces the
effects and realities that we
experience and call life.

some of these effects
include poverty
which can be
painful
but not always

the BIBLE SAYS
be ye kind
one to another
tender-hearted
forgiving one another
even as GOD for
CHRIST's sake
has
FORGIVEN YOU

some want to have a long debate about
capitalism VS socialism

I do beleive that if a mind
is made up for and by the
GOD of the BIBLE
where kindness and
other biblical and Godly
principles are applied

THEN GREED IS
NOT PRODUCED

A christian capitalist
while acquiring private property
and competing in a free market
is guided by kindness
and is conscious of boundaries
and of market shares and of the
"HAVE-NOTS"
an example of such a person
that comes to my mind is
American businessman R.G.LeTourneau.

another notable example is ANDREW CARNEGIE
Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond that required to supply the needs of one's family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community.
