Capitalism, not really...
Also absent was any notice of how the much-hated banks benefited not from free-market capitalism, which would have let them fail in 2008, but from crony capitalism that bailed them out.

The first thing that struck me was that there is a negotiated agreement for free trade. It doesn’t read like free trade. For example, there are triggers when garlic cloves exceed 1,805 metric tons in year 9 for implementation of a surtax.

2 Timothy 2:6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.

Exactly, God didn’t work a 40 hour work week then have a two...
