Retirement and If You Don't Work, You Don't Eat

With Usury comes the false promise that one can retire to some luxury, such as a beachfront property in Mexico, living off of the interest on retirement funds.  This whole notion is in direct contradiction to St. Paul's injunction "if you don't work you don't eat."

But people will argue "I saved."  You saved what?  Credit claims built on a system you can easily recognize as wrong, if you were not greedy for the promises of stones turned into bread if you wold just worship Mammon?

To take the Social Security/pension offer is to bet the Capitalism trumps Christianity.

I advise against the bet, the outcome is rigged.

Please feel free to share this post with three of your friends.
