The Business of America is Idolatry

I’m currently listening to the president’s RNC address. He has accomplished alot, far more than most presidents. But this claim of ”saving American jobs” is, at least in part, disingenuous. When you are regularly bringing in new “Americans” to please corporations, who are forcing already existing American employees to train their more cheaply paid replacements before they find themselves unemployed, then you aren’t saving American jobs. You‘re simply creating more unemployed Americans and shifting more money back into billionaires’ pockets. You’re just bringing in the foreigners to do the job here rather than overseas. You are moreso increasing the American welfare system and destroying American lives.

The shallow response at this point is that this is “racist”. But in a country this mixed, that accusation of racism doesn’t fly anymore. Your black or Asian neighbor is as likely to lose his job to a foreign replacement as your white neighbor is.

The one thing Republicans can’t understand is that money and business alone make no country great, least of all America. Scripture makes it clear that business apart from obeying the commands of God is death. The requirement to love the people near you, your neighbors in the truest sense, is chief among those commands, with regard to our duties to each other. And what corporations that replace their workers with cheap labor are doing isn’t love. The Epistle of James echoes loudly here. It is the “interests” of big business who have been looting and burning cities the past few months, those trained by the education system ordered by global corporate entities. Big business has supported and encouraged the rioters in their destruction. And in the end the wealthy will weather this and continue to prosper, while the common man is the one who will suffer. They care nothing for your wellbeing, your local businesses, your heritage, or your culture. If anything, those get in their way. Their goal is to bring in cheap labor and appease investors, while throwing in some absurd Leftist ideologically-shaped regulations while they’re at it, the kind that kill off small businesses. What they want are slaves; in fact, they want a slave class, entirely subservient to them.

Without a godliness that does not bow to whatever big business demands, any words about our worshipping Almighty God alone are dishonest and a violation of the first two commandments. Taking this into account, along with the big business that abortion is, it’s impossible to say God’s wrath toward America is undeserved.
