Obviously it's hard to complain about Quakers or Shakers or many other true Christians of all sorts. Elizabeth, you’re right that the word “Protestant” is a bit sweeping here.

Your comments remind me not only of Elizabeth Warren's thoughts about the exploitation of labor of the 98%, but also of my own on-going curiosity about why the Democratic party refuses to make a moral (and even, in Obama's case, explicitly Christian) argument about the rightness of a social contract. And lest I fail to stand up for my own, there are some Protestants who feel an equal dis-ease with wealth, at least among my own Presbyterian (read, stingy) cohort. But perhaps that comes merely from only having sheep. Lovely piece, John.

They can't be convinced to care for their lives!!! What an insult!
