Holy Father Lambasts Conservative Rich Incentive Policies!

[AVG-JOE]

I agree, capitalism has to be kept in check, however I don't see how that can be done through the tax code unless maybe you're thinking of a progressive tax which punishes the most successful businesses.

A fair and simple tax code is just the starting place for a fair marketplace. It's the 'Transparency in all things politics' leg of the stable economic tripod that produces the fair, simple and dynamic regulation of businesses for the greater good.

Do a GST down there and just watch everyone freaking scream.

It's the equalizer. But you watch your lefties squeal.

MY lefties?!?

When did they become mine?

I'll NEVER be able to keep up with the fucking payments!​

Speaking in grandiose terms. Have mercy will ya?

Probably the Chinese also need to listen up(?)! The Holy Father is actually not too thrilled with the entrepreneurial spirt of wealth aggrandizement, among the few. The policy is spelled out in 84 pages. Republican Conservatives have been noting their own inabilities to even read bills before the Congress, such as ACA. The Holy Father's message is likely to go unnoticed at RNC, Fox TV. . . and the rest.

First, the remedy.

Share the Wealth, redistribute wealth, is now papal doctrine, from the new one.

Pope Francis attacks 'tyranny' of unfettered capitalism, 'idolatory of money'

It is not news when an elderly bum dies, but it is news when S&P drops 2 points. At the Vatican that makes no sense. To the premier of China, that likely makes sense. There are likely a lot more dead. . . .well. . . .than there are dropped S&P points. . .or something(?)! It is trying to become like a Western democracy! With certainty as usual, The RNC can agree with the premier, on the matter, since at RNC the intent of the economy, in fact is clear. The arithmetic in the law is intended. It is intended by Boehner! It is intended by Cantor! It is intended by Issa, It is intended by Senators Cruz, MCain and McConnell: And by Paul, Paul, et. al.! All arithmetic, is intended. In fact, GOP took the Obama-Biden, "Make-Work-Pay" refundable income tax credit away. That was modeled after Matthew 20:1-16. The preferred RNC brand, in the law, is Matthew 25:14-30.

The Holy Father notes that extreme Adam Smith is lethal, a killing form. It can be said a violation of the Commandments. Like the Jews, Catholics actually regard those deity admonitions. Those are, "Thou Shalt Nots!" There is also, just likely, the Presbyterian, thing, to contend with.

The planet is blessed with the success of U. S. Market economics, fueld by Chinese, Socialist Banks: Since clearly the U. S. economy, is a failure. Just to proove that, Boehner, RNC, et. al., tried to get the U. S. to default, just in this current year. . .again! They so seem to want the failure to be noted!

Lethal RNC knows about failed family values, when math and the U. S. economy are engaged.

The Holy Father seems to have noted that, and so now the Vatican has noted that to the planet!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(White Eyes find hard to believe, that Jew-Man preached that many could save their own sorry asses, even on the Sabbath! Jew-Man then make himself Italian(?), a deity just like Ceasar(?)! China, like old Soviet Union, maybe understands about mental illness?! Maybe, also posssible: Jew-Man really not Sicilian, after all(?)!)

Define "unfettered capitalism"...

...Pope Francis attacks 'tyranny' of unfettered capitalism, 'idolatory of money'...

Define "unfettered capitalism"...

Straw-man nonsense made up by CNBC's looney left writers, not anything the pope would mention.

Actually, the Evangelii Gaudium, Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis, 2013 was pretty bland; the big problem with it is what it didn't say. There are more poor than rich, so the paper should have focused on what the poor should do. Instead it had just stuff for the rich that can only be used to confuse the poor. Stuff like--

...I encourage financial experts and political leaders to ponder the words of one of the sages of antiquity: “Not to share one’s wealth with the poor is to steal from them and to take away their livelihood. It is not our own goods which we hold, but theirs”.55...

55 Saint John Chrysostom, De Lazaro Concio, II, 6: PG 48, 992D.

It's the kind of godless revolutionary Marxism that tells looters that emptying a jewelry store is OK --it's not really stealing 'cause the loot's really theirs anyway. Same goes for the sin of coveting. When the poor wants what the rich has, it's the rich that's coveting:

...The great danger in today’s world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor...

--so it's OK to be envious of the rich because we just want to free them from their 'anguish'. If the pope were a leader he'd tell the poor not to steal from the rich nor covet what the rich have. He's not a leader, he's a follower of a covetous thieving mob.

CNBC is left wing?

CNBC is left wing?...

OK, we should be able to agree that they're probably a shade more to the right of say, the U.S. Communist Party and North Korea, but just look at today's CNBC headlines, they're are all about how great Obamacare is and about our wonderful booming American job market.

Those are positions way to the left of the American people.
