The problem is, they think they’re being religious when they talk about this….
Peter’s Pence collection will be a LOT LESS this year!
Limbaugh wants UNFETTERED capitalism? The kind that has turned China into a gigantic sewer of poisoned lakes and rivers and where people have to walk around with face masks and eye protection because the air is so poisoned and filthy?
and a happy Thanksgiving to you to........except you might want to check your ignorance at the dinner table when you spout the multiple points the current administration wants you to give to the rest who are at your table.
The idea that unfettered capitalism causes dirty air and water in China is beyond stupid, capitalism had nothing to do with the pollution there, however, state controlled monopoly directives DID cause it.
The finest example of so called "unfettered" capitalism was Taiwan before the Chicoms took it over. There was little to no pollution as a result, people were incredibly entrepreneurial, very little poverty, and pollution was under control. they were once a perfect example of "unfettered" capitalism.
This is a long story, but listen up, and listen well: Peter Lynch was the head of the Magellan Fund (a great winner in the world of unfettered capitalism, even a better record than Warren Buffet). I heard him relate the story of his father bringing him all over the world as a young boy just after WWII. They visited the rubble of some fifty countries in the West and the East, all around the globe. In the early to mid 1990's, after he left Magellan, he took his family around the same exact itinerary. According to him, EVERY country with a top down statist economy was not far removed from the state of rubble he had seen as a child (dirty, lots of poverty, little hope), and EVERY country that came close to "unfettered" capitalism was not only quite well off, having lifted themselves from the rubble, but had far less pollution and far greater hope as a culture. To the degree that each country had a top down statist approach, was the degree of poverty, misery, and pollution.
I don't know what the Pope said, but if he came anywhere near what was reported, the man simply needs to continue on another subject, as he may be as ignorant on this subject as you are.
