Ask JTF For Sunday, December 23, The Week of Chaim's Secular Birthday.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,
When this nation was founded, we had true laissez-faire, but within a century, she was already being strangled by the "captains of industry" (General Electric, Standard Oil, U.S. Steel, etc.). The same has been true of any nation that has ever had a free market. It's only free until the sharks eat all of the smaller fish.
Chaim, because this is a fallen world due to Adam's sin, no two businesses will ever be equal--and basic Darwinian law has borne out that stronger, more predatory corporations will consume the weaker. Capitalism is all about natural selection, and in every case where the government does not aggressively fight them, big businesses will eventually devour all smaller ones, and these oligopolies/monopolies then become more powerful than the government, and establish a plutocracy.
Therefore, I sincerely wish you would reconsider the idea of establishing unfettered free markets. There must be some policing. Without extremely vigilant antitrust oversight, these markets won't stay free for long. I'll write more in coming weeks.
G-d bless you and your mother,
Chaimfan.

Hello Chaim, Due to some events in my life, I have not been on the forum for awhile and havent put up but one youtube video. I am however getting things readjusted and will be active much more in the future. I am still and will be a JTF'r through and through, now on to my question:
If Obama or Clinton wins, do you think that either one of them would expel Jews from America? I Know you think every Jew should live in Israel, but if this were to happen, would you see it as a blessing or curse?
Happy Birthday by the way.
Moshe
Dr. Dan:
Happy 26th birthday Chaim!!!
The following quote was sent to me in regards to a comment I implied that SOMETIMES natural disasters take place in areas where people have acted in evil ways such as the Tsunamis and Hurricane Katrina.
This is the quote which he sent me:
Maimonides (1135-1204) simply said that we may not say that G-d does so and so because a human does so and so. This has been normative Judaism. There is no tit for tat in our religious belief system. Jews have become too Christianized in their theology.
(I'll tell you that I agree with this quote and we have to be careful of how we personalize Gd. And it's not about who's side G-d's on either when we fight wars or have arguements. I mean, anyone can just as easily say that Gd is on the side of the Muslims (Gd forbid) because they are currently winning this war. In fact, the reality is that irregardless of Gd being here or there, we, ourselves, are doing the right thing to win these wars, whether Gd is absent or present in our midst. Certainly, we should hope that He is in our presence and guiding us with His light. My point is, we have to careful how we say things when speaking for Gd or about Gd or what He does etc...and just simply do the right and moral thing.) And you know what, Chaim? We definately are doing the right thing! So there! How about them apples?
Shalom,
Dr. Dan

JTFFan:
Dear Chaim,
What do we do about the current border situation if Huckabee is elected? Thousands of illegals enter the U.S. every day around 10,000. We need a candidate or someone for vice president who's strong on this issue.
G-d Bless,
JTFFan
