PHOTOSHOP: Abe Lincoln robbed me of my freedom
This raises a good question about what the limits of economic freedom should be when they interfere with someone else's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Should one person's right to unlimited profit trump (no pun intended) other people's rights of all kinds?
PS: I don't think Lincoln was Muslim, but Marx did write him a fan letter. http://www.marxists.org/history/international/iwma/documents/1864/lincoln-letter.htm
PPS: in case it isn't clear, I am anti-slavery, anti-unregulated business rights, and don't think being called a Muslim or a marxist is an insult (though I'd like to talk to the latter and figure out where they went off the rails).
