We've all seen the wonders of "trickle down economics." It's why the rich call us "peons."
Yes, I'm an eat-the-rich type myself. But what's that got to do with Religion? Salvation? Enlightenment? Religion is more important than economics. It transcends economics. You'd have thought a pope would understand the importance of hierarchies. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote: We've all seen the wonders of "trickle down economics."

This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power. So is the Pope now an expert on economics (the dismal science)? "Trickle-down" theories could be wrong - but they could be right. It is surely possible to be a pious Christian and either support or oppose socialism. When popes claim that one or the other side is right they get dangerously close to claiming that supporters of the side they oppose are not true Christians - and so not saved. Jesus would be turning in His grave - if He hadn't risen. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com mailto:fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <emptybill@...> mailto:emptybill@... wrote: Email HIM. Offer to evangelize the Tantrika-s. Maybe he'll offer to make you a socialist proselyte and then, if you are successful, a bishop. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com mailto:fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote: BTW, those folks over on Infowars have a tendency to contradict themselves. They were talking about the riots at stores Thanksgiving Evening and saying that "individualism" would prevent that. WRONG. In fact much of the dialectic on Infowars is for the "we" people. They like to point to the BBC documentary "Century of the Self" which is about how the "me" society was created and how destructive it has been. And you can't have much of a revolution with a bunch of "me" people. They also thought that if the crowd would be this bad over cheap goods how much worse would they be fighting over food? Hurricane Sandy rather disproved that. That crowd is often a group out of sync with themselves. On 11/30/2013 02:50 PM, emptybill@... mailto:emptybill@... wrote: Who could imagine ...
