I'm feeling lonely here, but the Pope is correct about the greed-excessive salaries and bonuses situation. Is anyone talking about policies in the US that would make it viable for people to start and grow small businesses? About bailout money that went totally to the elite? About the global banking schemes that enrich the wealthy? About wars that are manipulated to happen, using Muslims as willing tools to destabilize the status quo?

The global elite is becoming even further removed from everyone else. The solution, though, isn't easy. Global manipulation and bloated national governments are going to have to collapse first.

The solution is not to empower corrupt, elite-saturated government further,

as the gist of his statement implies.

Define 'excessive'.

No, because the Gov't is engaging in crony capitalism bigtime. This is far from the unfettered capitalism the Pope has been decrying...socialist Gov'ts are controlling the economy, not capitalism.

In reality...if the State's power was diminished small business would flourish. But the Pope is calling for MORE Gov't intervention, not less.

When did giving economics advice become part of the Pope’s job description?

Afghanistan wasn't "manipulated to happen" by anyone except for those "willing tools" the Muslims who started the war.

Jesus is with you.

The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25

you're not alone......but sadly the left uses this kind of talk to increase upper working class taxes and decrease their benefits....

we don't ever have to worry about the rich ever having to share one single penny....
