More radical commie socialism from the His Holiness the TIME Person of the Year
by David Atkins
Pope Francis is continuing to give the Objectivist right conniption fits:
Pope Francis said in the first peace message of his pontificate that huge salaries and bonuses are symptoms of an economy based on greed and inequality and called again for nations to narrow the wealth gap.
In his message for the Roman Catholic Church's World Day of Peace, marked around the world on January 1, he also called for sharing of wealth and for nations to shrink the gap between rich and poor, more of whom are getting only "crumbs".
"The grave financial and economic crises of the present time ... have pushed man to seek satisfaction, happiness and security in consumption and earnings out of all proportion to the principles of a sound economy," he said.
"The succession of economic crises should lead to a timely rethinking of our models of economic development and to a change in lifestyles," he said.
Such forward-thinking radical commie leftism would get you banned from most D.C. cocktail parties and cable news circuits.
That more than anything lets you know the rot and corruption at the heart of our political and media culture.
