The basic law of Cash Flows: Most human activity is devoted to the redirection, guarantee, and expansion of cash flows to oneself.
Most legislative activity exists to regulate cash flow direction and quantity.
Cash flow redirection and expansion exists on every level of human activity. The babysitter who wants to earn a quarter an hour more is the same as the billionaire looking for a new oil field.
Catholic Fundamentalists understand that the babysitter who takes “lost” quarters from beneath the sofa cushions is morally similar to the billionaire who slant-drills into another’s oil field. When both babysitter and billionaire consider the words Moses brought down from the mountain, “Thou shalt not steal.”, our society is a better one.
