Maybe you’re a secret Muslim. Is that why you’re opposed to earning interest on money loaned? There has to be a reason for your anti-capitalist views.

How did you get "you're opposed to interest on money loaned" from anything I said?

I'm certainly opposed to usury, but i'm not opposed to ordinary and reasonable interest in a voluntary exchange.

There has to be a reason for your anti-capitalist views.

*YOU* assert my views are "anti-capitalist", when my views are in fact anti-fascist, with fascism being defined as collusion between government power and powerful business interests.

Free market capitalism is the optimal form of economics, and I am not arguing against it. I am arguing that what they were dealing with was not free market economics, but collusion between government and industry to favor those who had influence on the government.
