"Great wealth depends on cheap labor. That's why we're having such a hassle over the minimum wage. It will impinge on great wealth, a little bit."
Walter Brueggemann talking about the Solomonic regime ACCORDING TO THE ACCOUNT AS WRITTEN IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES AND RESPONDED TO BY THE PROPHETS. I defy anyone to find a left wing atheist who is pushing a more radical egalitarian economic and social agenda than that found in the scriptures as read by Brueggemann and, really, most of main-line Christianity.
Gotta spend more time with Brueggemann and less time on-line.
