Moses began a recorded explanation of how to do economics for a nation in the Torah books. A just scale of measures was needed. Money-Changers were known, but loans to the poor were to be left interest free. A portion of the crops was to be left for others, and passersby.
People who had were expected to provide. Later even Kings and Psalmists would follow up on the prescriptions. Rewards for the rich were not to be tolerated. Usury applied to the poor was already not to be tolerated.
In the New Testament, lending to the poor without expecation of any repayment whatsoever was expected. In Acts, the original Christians who had, sold that and distributed that so that everyone had enough.
In the current downturn, Because of the Old Fat White People, Cavorting About Naked On Other People's Yachts--Dumpting Substance and Other Treasure Into the Sea: There is the anti-business climate certain created at GOP. Those rich are oblivious, even to community obligations. As an outcome, businesses face customers mainly spending $175.00 per month less--year after year for four years.
In response to the downturn, The Balanced Budgeteers have laid off 500,000 state and local government employees, poetically included a lot of teachers, who are the pond scum who caused it all.
The rich are not being included in the national agenda, at all!

(Clearly, Teaching is not possible--at any grade level--unless it is believed that some kids are better than other kids, and that all the other kids are not worth the extra effort. Matter Shown!)
