Re: The Bible: Distributist Economics
Further, God commanded that the Israelites do this, because He was their King. You do not find him authorizing the Davidic dynasty to confiscate food, land, or property from the rich to give to the poor. It remained a command for the people to obey willingly without oppressive policies from the rulers.
Further, it this nation, the people are the rulers, not our elected officials in our state and federal capitals. We often lose sight of this fact, but that was what our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Articles of Confederation were based on.
