[The Urban Sombrero]

So though the Lord says the love of money is the root of all evil, the Sombrero says money is everything, that about right? Every man can't be a king, but every man can live a life of honor. There is nothing oppressive or lowly about working with one's hands for a living, especially in this country, where the most basic existence is regal in comparison to other lands. The Lord was a carpenter as I recall, and didn't even have a place to lay His head at night; Matthew 8:20 (KJV)
20 "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." And He said; 'the poor you will always have.'

Here is what I say. The ladder of success is a hard climb, whether for the farmer or the financier. That is the natural way of things. But the liberal, now there is an enigma for you. The liberal would circumvent the rungs of that ladder and merely build (using taxpayer dollars) an escalator so everybody who didn't feel like working could just ride to the top. You're in the Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren wing of the party?

"Whatever is is right" is an odd place for you to argue from, but when it comes to economic Darwinism that's the vine from which you swing. A minimum wage that is not a living wage might well qualify as the "dishonest scales" of Amos.

Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump may well be on a collision course. Basically, I am suggesting that workers picking strawberries without proper paperwork in oppressive conditions are more apt to protest with some Chavez than an investment banker with Goldman Sachs. From there, you used an insulation blower to spread straw.
