First of all you should probably search the internet and read about the difference between free enterprise and capitalism. The founding fathers and I, favor free enterprise.

I would suggest you read a little more on the money issue. Why do so many freepers and othes oppose the Federal Reserve. Why did Andrew Jackson run for president primarily just to eliminate the national bank? CONGRESS shall have the right to coin money and regulate the value thereof. Abraham Lincoln put green backs into circulation which was debt free money. Loans, and abundant wealth are MORE possible without usury that they are with usury. This is not the place for me to type in volumes of what has been written so well in many books. But maybe you should examine your views as to why it seems your view is so sharply in contrast to what Jefferson, Jackson and others have said.

I didn't mention anything about stock ownership. And forbidding usury does not preclude stock ownership. It would preclude corporate bonds, though. But since you brought it up, let me ask you. Do you believe it is right for someone to be free of the consequences of their actions? That is the primary reason for corporations. It is an entity created to protect executives, managers, etc. with a legal barrier to be free from the responsibility of their actions. There are many types of free enterprise businesses. A corporation is only one. Even if we did away with corporations, which I am not proposing, the world could still have as many businesses as it desired.

Ask any landlord who has been sued by a deadbeat tenant why they have set up a LLC for their duplex rental for example.
Anyone that owns something of value; will have someone try to take it from them via the legal system.

Get rid of many of the lawyers in society; then maybe things could change.

This isn't the 1700’s.
