Why do people from the political forum that demand honesty and morality

[Meriweather]

the right wing alleges to be for Capitalism not socialism on a national basis;

whatever shall we do,

in that Case?

This one is a tough one for me, because I tend to loathe corporations, feeling they, with their minimum wage, are the slave masters of our present era. I prefer business to be local, not nationwide, partnerships not corporations with their government lobbyists. But facing reality...

Democrat Ro Khana, Congressman from the Silicon Valley area of California, does have some good ideas. He questions why these Silicon Valley corporations and billionaires are outsourcing jobs overseas rather than outsourcing them to the 'flyover' parts of their own country. Another issue: It was recently determined some corporations are guaranteeing their delivery people (i.e. Instacart) $10 per delivery--but the delivery person's tip is calculated into that $10. Instead of billions more into personal coffers, why not raise the rates of workers, instead of playing Scrooge with them?

If our wealthiest businessmen would loosen their purse strings and rein in their own greed so that their fellow countrymen can see them as generous, philanthropic countrymen who provide substantial salaries for good workers, these workers would be less hostile towards those who own mansions--even multiple homes--when they with two salaries or several roommates struggle to make the rent for an area the size of a rich man's entrance foyer.

What billionaires should remember is that they are vastly outnumbered by the poor. And when they exploit the poor, they can only expect one result--the poor will rise up in revolt. We don't need socialism. That is no cure. What we do need is for those who are excessively rich to grasp just how heavy their weight is on the backs of their workers--and that those workers are more than worth their wage. So is their country.

Christians can trash other religions but christianity is off limits.
Sounds like islam

Too much a broad brush. I suspect you have a few specific instances in mind that are not the rule, yet you choose to paint the many with the brush of a few.

Most do. Thats here and real life. There are exceptions, like you.

Perhaps you are missing ecumenical efforts throughout the country/Christianity? Could it be the exceptions are not like me, but rather that the exceptions are those who are unkind to other religious faiths?

As i said, it seems like most to me. Thats why i said you were an exception. The minority.
That seems to be common with most collectives of that extreme. Ones that define who you are and how you form opinions.

You preach one kind...There are many sources of morals and ethics depending on which society you are familiar with..

Was it Jefferson that first said...." All men are created equal... but some are more equal then others. "

He was speaking of the political position that Kings and common people were all equal in standing.

If people were actually honest and moral, they would not be indulging in all this left/right tribal political warfare to begin with.

The hypocrisy created by such identity driven politics is neither.

When the Psalmist said, "Ye are all gods."
He was saying all are equal. And deserve the same.
It was way way back in the Bible.

The word politics actually means: of two positions.

the word elohim means either gods or judges. since the psalmist was speaking about men then it should read "ye are all judges", which makes more sense because men are not gods yet those who received the law from God were made judges of the law by God..

Jesus quoted this verse as a legal defense against the charge of blasphemy for calling himself Gods son. The reasoning was that if God giving the law to the Jewish people made those people judges of the law, God giving the revelation of the hidden meaning of that same law to Jesus made him Gods' Son, a relational metaphor for the messiah. " And I shall put my words into his mouth and he shall convey all of my commands." Deuteronomy 18:18

And he added that he was innocent of the charge of blasphemy for calling himself Gods Son because he already did what no other man but the Son of God could do.

Remember?

"Don't believe me because of what I said, believe me because of what I have done." He revealed the secret hidden teaching of the law which is the great seal of the living God.

"I will give you treasures from dark vaults hoarded in secret places that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel who summons you by name,"

They knew he did because they had been been keeping it secret, yet they refused to acknowledge him or conform to what scripture required.. As it turns out it was a bad move if history is any indication.

"If you hate me you hate the one who sent me." They had come to despise God and apparently the feeling was mutual.

...because even Poor guys know Talk is cheap and have to determine "who the biggest liars are". Why should anyone not just the left, "feel any need to go along with the biggest liars".

Left can even appeal to morals from the Age of Iron and a Bible.
