My 10 Commandments

I believe:

I.....Socialism is not automatically evil, and Capitalism is not automatically good.
II....Corporations are not people, and their interests are inherently anti-humanist.
III...Talking louder than someone else does not automatically make you right.
IV...For every one extremely wealthy person, there are thousands of poor people.
V....Not every coincidence is a coincidence.
VI...Deregulation only puts trust in people who are not trustworthy.
VII..Taxes are the price for living in a civilized society.
VIII.It is necessary to support free speech you do not necessarily agree with.
IX...Marriage should be restricted…to humans.
X....No form of welfare or social service should be privatized.



Agree or disagree?

I added them to my journal so I get the credit anyway ;)

I hope that is OK. Now I'll probably get a lot of flak from "friends," but I don't care. LOL

our elected officials???

:evilgrin:

You weren't paying attention to the other half of what was going on.

They're good, but you're not actually commanding anybody to do anything.

since they aren't actually "commandments."

I'm with you on all 10.

I originally just wrote "10 things I believe" but figured the whole commandment thing was more symbolic/recognizable.

With few exceptions in business or finance no one can get extremely rich without hurting someone else, without deceiving someone or without violating one of the 10 Commandments over and over again. And even when people get extremely rich they want more and more and others to have less and less.
