So let's get right down to the root of the present administration's response to the economic crisis. The catholics have written down the Seven Deadly Sins. they are: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. All of these sins are being utilized in one form or another in regards to the present situation. Those who have obtained something are now being portrayed as evil by those who have failed to obtain the same. These people have spent all of their lives watching and castigating others while spending no time looking at themselves. After all, it is easier to blame someone for failures than accept responsibility. If you accept responsibility for failure then you have a responsibility to fix it.Often times this requires humility and hardwork. Many people have issues with just one of those characteristics.
Exodus 20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his a--, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
Covetousness is a culmination of the deadly sins. People look into your life, at that moment, and start to lust after what you have toiled for. They have no idea how hard you had to work or how long it took to obtain what you have, and they don't care to know. Even people who have been with you during your years of toil often "forget" how hard it was. They discard the failures and let downs, and all they see is the good stuff.
Whether it be the "stimulus package", Cap and trade, Health Insurance "reform", or any other topic du jour, it's all about coveting what your neighbor has. Instead of working for it, take it. Take from those who have and give to those who refuse to earn. Take from those who have succeeded and give to those who not only failed but gave up. You can wrap it in all the pseudo compassionate words you can, it is still pure theft as a result of covetousness. What's worse, is the people leading this attempt at theft are fueling this sense of covetousness. They also are coveting. They have no moral leg to stand on and realize the only way they can maintain whatever power they have is to continue to lie to the people. They are the anti-Christ's. They lie cheat, steal, murder, commit adultery, and worship the god of power. They preach a humnist religion while attempting to proclaim G-d.:
Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
