Actually, the subjugation doctrine in arithmetic was exposed in Matthew 25:14-30. The rich got richer, the poor got cast out into a foreclosure crisis, for the time. Likely they could sell themselves into slavery, or follow along the bread and circuses. Original usury had been productive--four bags of barley to repay a loan of three. Hungry person could commence creating a stable food supply, and even commence trade and business. In Code of Hammurabi, even Socialism happened. Unable to pay the debts, the husband could sell the wife and kids in into slavery--fed, clothed, housed, and likely made productive--they would be. The period was about 3 years, and complete with the Imperial Administration, often common in Dictatorships of the Proletariat. That would be a forerunner of all kinds of modern economics--of ideology, if not always math.
Likely Lincoln had no such clue Similarly, 50% of people over 20 are obese, but are at least adult about it(?)!
Pharaoh households of Egypt are easily said familiar with arithmetic. So in Acts 7:22, Moses is noted to have been an educated man of Egypt--the Imperial, arts--not so stated. It was an Imperial House, needing bureaucracy, having arithmetic. Deuteronomy 23:19-20 would prohibit Janet Yellen types in Israel, but Janet Yellen types could screw the all the foreign households at will. Likely that is what they were doing in the Temple, at least every so often, when Jesus ran through it with a whip. Israel was used to being conquered, the Roman bureaucracy was alive and well in Israel. Jesus may have known Greek Intellectuals, and the Greek religion of the Pythagoreans. In the referenced story, the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied, and can easily be said the first major economic message of Western Civilization, using known arithmetic of the time.
What happens if. . . .was suddenly meaningful.
No one at RNC wants to ask that. Mohammed didn't follow it, nor Adam Smith. Karl Marx didn't note, and mainly Gay Keynes appears to get celebrated: "For he bade the people bend over, and await the Public Works. That would be a subjugation, forced labor kind of project. The Remedy to Matthew 25:14-30 was shown in Matthew 20:1-16. A free market would have buyers, regardless if the labor had worked all the day, or year, or not. RNC took the "Make Work Pay Refundable Income Tax Credit" away from America, ran the Mormon for President instead, and now seem to think that what they have now is light years advanced, over any of that sort crap(?)!
