Income inequality in the US

[Samseau]

I don't have a problem with life and all of its absurdities, but the curious thing about the trajectory of life is that we're supposed to work hard and are naturally inclined to do well for our families, children and community but we also as Christians are told to suffer under the nonsense of godless people, because we are just sojourning here. I don't have the answer, but I will say, right or wrong, I push back against the feminine attitude of just laying down against certain rulers due to their current status as so called "rulers" over us. I have a personal opinion that modern christians largely have that weak approach towards evil, having been spoiled and lived in a secure world for so long.

Where Christians get it wrong today is that they are supposed to lie down and accept the spiritual degradation of the culture.

The reason usury runs rampant is a spiritual problem, not a political one.

Jesus Christ did NOT lie down against spiritual degradation. Indeed, he called for war against evil powers (the sword not peace), threw the money changers out of the temple, and told his followers never to worship anyone but him, even if it meant death.

It was the spiritual revolution of Christ that eventually overthrew the Roman system, including their usury, and established an all powerful Church. Early Christians used violence all the time - they refused to pay religious taxes, acknowledge other Gods, and when they could, they eventually tore down all pagan temples.

THAT is real progress. People think political systems matter - they don't. That's why Christ told us to pay our taxes, because politics are meaningless. Control the Spiritual realm, and the political one always follows. And today, our Spiritual realm has been taken over because Christians have become so weak and effeminate, when in reality we should be tearing down all of the false idols today and renewing the zeal of the population. That's where the violence needs to occur, for "The Kingdom of Heaven is seized by force."

"Freedom of Religion" is 100% apostasy, and results in CivDeath and domination by Satan. No such thing as Freedom of Religion.

"He who is not with me is against me." - Matthew 12:30.

Until there is an explicitly Christian government, no amount of political theories or revolutions will accomplish anything. That is why it makes no difference to resist or fight political movements as long as the Spiritual foundation is corrupted.

Abortion, "pride month," usury, taxes, foreign wars, unlimited immigration, etc, are all just symptoms of a much larger problem - the lack of faith in Christ Jesus, and a culture that willingly lives by His name, commandments, and His Church.

Until this comes to pass, politics is a total waste of time and will always result in failure because we will be building on sand. This world WILL continue to crash and burn from judgement until people repent, and as Christians, it is our job to call others to repentance as well as condemn the Satanic lies around us, openly and without fear.

Control the Spiritual realm, and the political one always follows.

I agree. Well stated.

The problem is that we're here as collateral damage and the evil one has a hold of the women and/or many other simp men ... for now.

While theories of capitalism and socialism distribution have their merits, after studying both for years, I've concluded that neither are the problem and both can work with the right people or setup.

But you know what can't work? Usury.

That's why, in the Middle Ages, when there were literally fiefdoms and intense regulation of private property, which was one of the least efficient methods of distribution, people could still have homes and families - because usury was banned by an all-powerful Church.

Monopolization of resources or land doesn't matter if it's paid for with REAL money. It doesn't matter if people can keep their earnings, or get taxed up the wazoo like they did in the Byzantine Empire. If the money was REAL, then it did not matter how it was distributed.

Bankers who charged interest on loans had their heads cut off and their money confiscated - that's how you ensure prosperity.

Until that comes back, debates about economic systems are pointless. Imagine debating if power-lifting or long-distance running was the key to a long life, when you have cancer? That's what it's like when talking about which system of distribution is better, capitalism or socialism, when you've got usurious parasites cannibalizing the economy.

Literally everything else is pointless until the usurious system is destroyed. The wealthy will get richer no matter what while the people are crushed and unable to afford a home and kids. It's just the mathematical outcome of exponents, aka interest rates. Completely unavoidable and only temporarily relieved with money printing, which is the equivalent of chemotherapy to the economy until the cancer of usury comes back.

LINK BELOW: Banks profits are theirs, banks losses are ours. There's about to be a rout in commercial retail. These property owners have interest only loans on them and the entire balance is coming due at the end of '24. Or they can re-fi at probably double the interest rate which they can't afford to do.
Remitting monthly payments on a property where the balance never goes down. When the banks start to fail the taxpayers will be forced to bail them out. Top to bottom reform of banking/usury should be number one on the list of anyone concerned with saving western civilization.

I think the federal government civilian employment may have one of the better systems for fair pay based on merit incremental pay steps that I’ve seen. Sure there’s tons of DEI crap now adays that fill positions over more qualified candidates, and most of the work is fake/useless and inefficient, but if the DEI hires don’t know how to play the political game nor have a strong balance of general and emotional intelligence they just stay in low to mid tier ranks at best over their long career and do mostly useless administration work. They have the GS scale and a few other varieties of pay scales. Only problems that I’ve seen are there is definitely a ruling class of leadership (top 5-10% GS 14 and above) and a serf class division where most of the rules, regulations and procedures don’t apply to the top leaders in various USG organizations or they know how to work the system and find loopholes to have some exponential income and benefit gains over the serf employees but all in all it’s probably one of the more fair “linear” pay scales in an organization I’ve seen working probably 50% of my career in private industry and 50% tied in to supporting the government (but as a service contractor not a civilian employee of the USG).
