re: #18 andres

I think that’s the issue Pope Francis is rising: capitalism is a tool to be used, not a saint to be revered. Many people, especially those that spout unfettered free markets ideas, forget that small detail. Let capitalism do its work, but keep it rein.

Right, the way some people talk about “The Market” is eerie similar to how past Communists would talk about “The Proletariat”. There’s a lot of myth and no contention for how things really are. The other thing and I think this is the flaw of the Right Wing idea that charity should be private not public is that private charities are unfortunately ripe with corruption.
