But then the Protestants got hold of it during The Reformation in the 16th century, and fucked it up for all of us by plowing the road and making it possible for American Evangelicals to use their religion almost solely as a revenue generator, and for their pet coin-operated politicians to rationalize and institutionalize rent-seeking.
So it sounds good, but it just comes back on you when they point out that it's not a Christian Bible thing, it's a Muslim Quran thing. And it gets lost in the racism shouting match.
But then again, if Usury is, in fact, a sin - and the GOP always makes noise about adhering to religious teachings - why are they always so adamantly opposed to things like CFPB?
Why would Liz Warren's ideas about fair and honorable business practices be seen as such a threat?
It's a wonderment.
