One of the discouraging things to watch in today's politics is so called Christians invoking their false faith. One place they are trying to do this is justifying a $15/hr. minimum wage.
I am sending every Democrat in Washington, DC, a copy of Matthew 20:15. In this famous passage employees are complaining some got a better deal than others in a vineyard. The vineyard owner asks, "
Am I not allow to do what I choose with what belongs to me?"
This passage applies God's word to everything that goes on in a privately owned business. We are not just talking wages here but safety regulations, hours per week, overtime (or no overtime)pay, health benefits and so on. The Bible, God's word, instructs government to stay out of these things.
Thankfully, the Christian press is starting to wake up and publish views that are actually Christian:
