You either forget or refuse to admit that in the US of A, Grace never gets between a "good Christian" and making a buck.

That goes for all those who claim to be Christian no matter what church they claim to be a part of or not a part of. The heresy of Americanism totally swamped the Catholic Church and didn't ever have to swamp others because they were as much worshipers of America as of God to begin with.

The false dichotomies are flying thick and fast in this thread.

True grace attempts to understand where everyone is with respect to God, and then attempts to come to an accommodation that helps all people concerned approach God more nearly.

I guess you’re grinding an axe for the Catholic Church which I can recognize without having to accept. Many evangelical branches did, in fact, put Christ at the head, and gave praise to God when things went right, and sought God’s forgiveness, mercy, and guidance when things went wrong. But this attitude has faded over the years in many, not all, places.

If you were running a company like Qualcomm and found yourself wanting to make a move like this, what would you expect to be the reason... mere greed? Or rather, fear? I put my bets on fear.

Now yes there could be a political fiat solution that simply forbids Qualcomm and others to make such a move. But a better perspective is to make a case that Qualcomm does not need to have such fear. And it will take being super serious about getting Obama’s legacy out of the picture in order to do that.

And also, being in a mixed-contractor situation myself (H1B’s and citizens) I know there are reasons to fear being let down by the H1B’s as well. The situation will eventually punish its own excesses.

In the end, a rising tide lifts all boats. Quit diverting tides to feeding huge armies of government drones that produce nothing, and the boats will begin to rise again with production of things that people actually want. Most people have some idea of blessings even if not an eternally saving idea of God, and accordingly spirits lift when the government is not siphoning off resources into a racket. With lifting spirits come more willingness to work hard and to appreciate what one has worked hard for.
