Among other things, Puritanism held that the poor were forsaken by God, and anyone who didn't believe what the Puritans believed was deemed subhuman. Roger Williams founded Rhode Island in an attempt to get the hell away from America's first right wing scumbag idiots.<br /><br />The Puritans were very much on the minds of the Founders when they wrote the Constitution.

Express Free Market Parables; explaining the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning.<br /><br />There was no such thing as a free market when Jesus supposedly preached, nearly 18 centuries before Adam Smith introduced the concept. And whatever Jesus might have been, he wasn't an economist.
