Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

“The encyclical correctly notes that globalization has indeed lifted millions out of poverty, primarily by the integration of the economies of developing nations into international markets. Yet the unevenness of this integration leaves us deeply concerned about the inequality”
Never before in all history have so many come out of
poverty. Capitalism alone does that.
You get equality of results in Communism, not Capitalism.

As one fellow put it, “It won’t do any good to stand before God on Judgment Day, and say, ‘I gave someone else’s money to the poor!’”
If any of these signers or the Pope wish to give to charity, good on ‘em. I do so as well.
If they want government to take my money and give to unions and charities the government likes - back off.
“Profit, while a necessary means in economic life, cannot be an overriding end for truly human economic flourishing. We therefore affirm the emphasis in Caritas in Veritate on social enterprise, that is, business efforts guided by a mutualist principle that transcends the dichotomy of for-profit and not-for-profit and that instead pursues social ends while covering costs and providing for investment.”
Without massive government interference in business, this would lead to loss of businesses. With it, it leads to loss of freedom.
