Turning Hard Times Into Good Times

John F. McManus is our main guest this week. Constitutionally, America was never a Christian nation but it was a nation with many practicing Christians living in it. Its legal system was strongly influenced by Judeo-Christian values. To the extent the golden rule” was practiced, government was virtually unnecessary. But, over time, Judeo-Christian values gave way to Humanism. Without trust in a superior being, Americans have increasingly put their trust in Caesar. And with Caesar’s growing power has come increasing market intervention, leading to mal investment, a lack of savings, massive debt and parasitic behavior most egregious of which have been bailouts for filthy rich banking thieves on Wall Street and in Washington. Increasingly, Americans seek wealth by gaming the system rather than producing useful products in a free-market competitive environment for the good of all. How did this transformation from free markets to fascism come about in America? John McManus will explain.
