    OK. That would be the other perspective.

    Nevermind that her and her husband have raked in millions thanks to capitalism, we might believe her if she were to forfeit those earnings.

    Why? you would think you would suck up to the wealthy. Sometimes insiders see the problems more clearly and have an idea of how to fix them. Capitalism can work if heavily regulated. The founders chartered corporations. if they did things against the public good they could lose the ability to operate.
    You are being illogical.

    Semantics fallacies. Dictionaries do not define words. That is not the purpose of a dictionary. People do.

    It served HER economy just fine for a lifetime.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Obviously it is you that once again is forced to show off your ignorance. "Wealth inequality" has been a force to be reckoned with since the founding of the country. It deprives the "working class" of the capital necessary for them to advance, and insures that the likes of the Waltons, or Bezos, will continue to advance at the expense of the working class. You might try to do some research on why Jefferson, and Madison, attempted to eliminate the inheritance of an estate by family members. Then too, Jefferson, Adam Smith, and others supported unions something else your kind hates.

    https://www.conlaw.org/Intergenerational-II-2-4.htm
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    Adam Smith warned of the danger of capital being concentrated and not used as investment.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
