Between 1898 & 1923 10,000 West Virginia coal miners died. There's your unregulated capaitalism. During this time union organizers were called Communists ... only Mother Jones saved fought for us. Ironically, she was a very old, wealthy socialite.
You're so right, of course, and thank goodness for these stances. More people in more churches need to stand up and do the same but they won't. They won't want to alienate any wallets in the pews.
