Why we get to play Santa - The Big Picture with Jack Atherton

Jack Atherton reflects on the meaning of Christmas, discussing generosity, community, and the commercialization of the season. He explores religious teachings about caring for others and contrasts economic systems—capitalism, socialism, and communism—arguing that free-market competition best supports charity and opportunity. The conversation touches on Medicaid, work requirements, and the importance of self-sufficiency, ultimately emphasizing that the prosperity enabling holiday giving stems from a capitalist society, not a socialist one.
