Don’t think the Pope said socialism is better but anyway the question is why are the poor increasing here? Shipping jobs and factories to other countries for whatever reason is not a help to our poor here. Sure doesn’t sound like today’s Good Samaritan is using his money here if he can find a lower wage to take care of himself.

The charity of the Good Samaritan had nothing to do with his business, other than that whatever business he was in allowed him to afford to express his charity with money as well as with courage. Business may empower charity, but business is not charity. There is only so much charity possible in the conduct of business, and an unbounded “need” for charity wherever it is not “more blessed to give than to receive.”
