    Okay, fine. But you have to do all of it. That means nobody can change more than 10% interest and there has to be a jubilee every 50 years where all debts are forgiven and all land is returned to its original owner.

    The Bible bans usury, which is the basis of the American capitalist economic system.

    And Christians just ignore it.

    Oh for sure. And doesn’t the Bible say how it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven? We must confiscate the wealth of all those poor billionaires at once for the salvation of their souls!
