Economic answers ?

With the condition of the U.S. economy and world economy, many people are turning to the Bible for answers .  I think the corporations who are running Wall Street should heed this HOLY BIBLE James 5:1-6.

"Now listen you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look, the wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvestors have reached the ears of the LORD ALMIGHTY. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of the slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. "

  Now I realize that this was written a long time ago.  If this was the warning to them back then ,how much more is it happening right now?  I'm not against rich people. I'm for all people but the Bible is clear  about wealthy oppressors and how God is going to deal with them.  I do think that all healthy people should work regardless and let God deal with both( the oppressors and the ones who refuse to work). Also the book of Acts as well as many other Bible texts tell us as believers how we should view and act in our communities when seeing people in need.
