Micah 2:1-2

Power corrupts. Total power corrupts totally. 

There should not be an elitist, wealthy group in a country that attempts to control it, not in the United States nor in any other country that claims to be Christian and guided by the Spirit of God.

The ethical teaching of the prophets regularly included oracles of judgment against greed, theft, and oppression, actions of the powerful in attacking the weak. To covet is not just to have a passing thought; it is a determination to seize what is not one’s own. 

Micah 2:1-2

2 Woe to those who devise iniquity,

And work out evil on their beds!

At morning light they practice it,

Because it is in the power of their hand.

² They covet fields and take them by violence,

Also houses, and seize them.

So they oppress a man and his house,

A man and his inheritance.

⁸Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land! 

Isaiah 5:8

⁷They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me. 

Hosea 7:7
