Negative net worth is generally fueled by debt. This is a fact. Only in a liberal's diseased brain could one perform such ideological contortionism to willingly ignore that fact.
Wow...what complex contortions you make to try and state that.

1. Most people find Bashirs comments offensive. He has apologized, and Palin has accepted the apology. Despite that most are offended by what he said. So far liberals have not "clamored" for it to occur.

2. debt and wealth inequality are different topics only very tangently related. Debt CAN increase wealth inequality, but it is not the driving factor. And wealth inequality can cause debt.

3. Debt CAN kill by making necessities of life unaffordable.

4. Wealth inequalty DOES kill for the same reasons.

5. lowered wealth inequality will result in less debt.

6. is debt slavery? uhmmm...no. Although it can certainly have some mildly similar results.

Who gives a scat what the Bible says? We are talking about wealth inequality and debt in 2013, and the realization that debt is in fact a form of slavery, and wealth inequality is the result.

Very tangently related?

LOL

You apparently don't even understand the definition of "net worth," so why should I continue this conversation with you?

Default Pope Calls Unbridled Capitalism A New Tyranny; We Have A Socialist In The Vatican

Maybe someone should tell the pope that the really tyranny is unbridled socialism.
If he needs proof all he has to do is just look in his own backyard Italy and what unbridled socialism has done to that country.

No, people that fancy themselves religious and not comprehending that this Pope's message is all about humanity and happens to be coming from a religious figurehead is spelled B-U-L-L- S-H-I-*-*-E-R-S.

The Pope is from South America isn't he? Lots of Socialists/Marxists in South America.

May I ask why either the Pope or Pastor Terry Jones opening their pie-holes carries any relevance for thinking people today?

The Church has been saying this since 1891. Guess you didn't get the memo.

It'd be interesting to see an example of unbridled capitalism that he's talking about.
