When you think about it, Mormonism rose from the liberal religious trends in the early 19th century that also influenced abolitionism, transcendentalism, early feminism, and led to the founding of schools such as Oberlin College where all of these ideas merged and developed.Joseph Smith wrote, “they did have all things in common — and there were no poor among them.” I can’t find any evidence of Beck, Buttars, Hatch, or Romney supporting that idea. I did find plenty of the opposite.
