What kind of government would…
- mandate that all residents pay taxes for religious organizations regardless of their own religious beliefs,
- allow an unchecked appointed body to set taxes without representation from the taxed,
- prohibit the full utilization of resources by land and business owners
- regulate agricultural and technological innovations, including out-0f-hand prohibitions of research projects
- severely limit inheritances
- radically redistribute land, property, and workforces every fifty years
- completely regulate external trade
- set centralized policies for all interest-bearing transactions
- mandate nearly 30% national taxation for projects that directly benefit 8% of the population,
- regulate the sale of land, prohibiting certain classes from buying or selling land,
- mandate property maintenance programs,
- mandate public health programs, including standards of personal hygiene,
- allow only one state religion, practiced fully in only one location,
- prohibit work nearly two months every year, and impose capital punishment for violating the prohibition.
I’ve been spending some time in the Pentateuch, and I’m now convinced that, while capitalism may not be evil, it certainly is not biblical.
