Well, I think I agree with the Pope but perhaps not from the same perspective. Cheap (read slave) labor, ridiculous trade agreements that favor only multi rich corporations benefits neither the developed or undeveloped nations. In one you have a job that pays spit and can kill you, in the other you have no jobs that can kill you in sneakier but just as effective ways. And those few who receive the benefits don't care about anyone else. And the bulk of the market is using yours and my money (retirements/pensions, credit unions, etc) to the few who risk all of our security. I don't think a gun will help so much when things go down....I think only Jesus can. Does that sound hokey? I don't think we can stop this runaway train otherwise.
However..........if we look real close to these nations in question we see that "Socialism" and "Dictator" governments dominate them.
Neither one of those will work. Socialism ultimately fails because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.
THINK!!!!! Here are some truths about Socialistic countries.
It is IMPOSSIBLE legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
Then, what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
Then when half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
How many nations right now fit into that Socialism paradigm????
What is the end result......."GREECE".
Now the bills have come due and no one wants to pay for what they have been getting with any effort at all.
