Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as “people of faith,” responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The “people of faith” label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.
The study found that approximately 104 million people under the “people of faith” umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.
Plenty of ecconomicists have said why capping prices are bad. That you read others is your choice. This is supposed to be an exercise in undertanding, not an exercise in convincing someone they are wrong. So quit asking what I think. Instead understand what and why they think - they are not stupid.
It’s not about whether capping some prices is good or bad for the economy. It’s about whether it helps poor people or not, whether its something in-line with Christian principles of helping the poor.
You were asking for actions that back up their words, so I give you actions that show one party is much more in-line with Jesus’ teachings. Where the other one just spits on them while waving an upside-down bible for a photo op.
Something that makes things worse for everyone doesn’t help the poor at all. Sure it sounds good, but anyone who looks at deeper effects will discover that it is even worse for the poor.
Worse for everyone? I’m not so sure about that, the stock price of one pharma company is not “everyone”. So you really think capping the price of insulin somehow makes things worse for the poor, who already are struggling to afford it? Not sure how much worse it can get for them, if they can’t afford a drug they need to live. That seems pretty close to dying.
So what is your solution, my good capitalist?
