Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
--Eurythmics
Market intervention, whether it be via monetary policy, regulation, subsidies, taxes, price ceilings/floors, et al., is aggression. It forcibly interferes with voluntary cooperation among individuals engaged in production and trade.
This aggression is marshalled by special interest principals who employ strong-armed government agents to get their way. The intent is to benefit thru the use of force on others--rather than thru one's own productive effort or peaceful influence.
Market intervention disturbs the peace. It offends natural forces that push prosperity higher over time.
By interfering with free will and reasoned judgment, intervention compromises God's gift for alleviating impoverishment in the world.

"Show me the money for the tax." And they brought him a coin. And Jesus said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
~Matthew 22:19-21
If one's faith is in God, then God is owed everything; Caesar's claims are necessarily illegitimate, and he is therefore owed nothing. If, on the other hand, one's faith is in Caesar, God's claims are illegitimate, and Caesar is owed, at the very least, the coin which bears his image.
~Jeffrey Barr
