How ridiculous you are. You have to call Jesus a communist, a high tax proponent, and a hater to have positive feelings for him. OTOH you describe his religion as an evil that the athiestic founding fathers wanted to ban public expression of.

If it's true that Jesus taught a complete lack of capitalism, evidently it meant he preferred the poverty stricken masses of the 17thC to continue to starve to death, rather than participate in the Industrial Revolution. The population exploded once numerous salaried jobs were created by capitalists (about 1700 in the English Midlands). As a result of those jobs, laborers at long last had a steady source of income to provide nourishment & housing for their children. CEOs need labor and vice versa...one cannot succeed without the other. If you're so convinced JC preferred a complete lack of capitalism, why did he allow the capitalist-driven Industrial Revolution to occur on his earth?
