My eyes, my eyes!!!!
HH: Jesus supports the Buffett Rule, Mark Steyn.MS: Oh, give me a break. For a start, when he says I am my brother’s keeper, his brother is back in Kenya living on $12 dollars a year. That’s what he was living on at the time of the 2008 elections. All the President has to do, in terms of this shared responsibility, is put a $10 dollar bill in an envelope, and mail it to Nairobi or Mombasa or wherever, and he will double his brother’s salary. What he means, this version of shared responsibility means the state should be your brother’s keeper. And this is the point for the Catholic Church, that separation of Church and state is one thing, but big government means the state as Church, the sole, legitimate source of moral authority, whether it’s on contraception, or gay marriage, or abortion, or any of the rest. And that’s what you see in Europe. Big government drives out other sources of moral authority.
