Jesus was a supporter of free market capitalism — read The Parable of the Talents and you’ll see.

Jesus was also a big supporter of being responsible with money -especially other people’s money. Remember the parable of the good and bad stewards? The master goes away leaving his property in the hands of the two stewards. One steward wasted the master’s money and abused his servants while the other steward invested the money wisely and took care of the estate with care. Jesus said that the responsible steward would be rewarded.

Compare this to the stewards of the nation’s money. Are they good stewards or bad? Are they responsible with the taxpayers money? Do they respect that this is money that belongs to others? If people in government paid attention to this parable, our national finances would be in much better condition.

Um, that was the parable of the talents. Parable. I hope you were joking.
