Debt

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." - God, Bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:21

The Law and the Penelty

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - God, Bible, Matthew 22:37-40

"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: ... " - God, Bible, Romans 13:8

"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." - God, Bible, Proverbs 22.7

"At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release. Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it: Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee." - God, Bible, Deuteronomy 15:1-6

United States Founding Fathers and Founding Americans

  1. "To preserve independence we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistance by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers." - United States Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816
