However, I "disagree agreeably"...Great post Alan. <br /><br />However, I "disagree agreeably" that fiscal conservatism is the best ideology for treating people with "graciousness, warmth and openness." <br /><br />That is, capitalism when working at its absolute best, punishes the less fortunate for the benefit of the affluent.<br /><br />More specifically, it requires and encourages cheap labor to increase efficiency, and thus increase capital, as a result decreasing quality of life for the poor. <br /><br />Our society's "graciousness, warmth and openness" will increase exponentially if we turn this crisis into an opportunity to tweak our financial system in a way that encourages kindness and capital equally. <br /><br />Shabbat Shalom. <br />-Joshua ShniderJoshua Shniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106839783496795860noreply@blogger.com
