so as we just spoke about Pope Francis
gave another speech where he came out swinging
in favor love the idea of wealth redistribution
which is a good thing again every single modern nation has wealth redistribution
the cops the fire department the food inspectors
the military its all wealth redistribution an
even Iran a everybody's in favor of it everybody's in favor wealth
redistribution
just to what extent are you in favor of it well %uh
rush limbaugh is the one guy who says no no this is bad this is wrong wealth
redistribution as evil
I want one person to be a billionaire and everybody else to make 17 cents I'm
fine with that if that's how it works out so be it
so he's gonna do what He often does now and he's gonna tell the Pope
what Jesus really meant the pope
ladies and gentlemen is back
saying
demanding a legitimate
redistribution of wealth you
paper hope Francis call today for governments
to redistribute wealth to the poor
in a new spirit of generosity help curb the
économie of exclusion that is taking hold it
today the
home is describing charity and thats
what the church is for and the Vatican
years country but the pope
is demanding that the united nations
somehow use its influence to get members
States to redistribute well thats
marxism thats socialism that's not charity
the church is the place where that kind of thing
charity should come from clearly rush limbaugh knows better than the Pope does
on the issue a religion and charity and what Jesus was in favor of
here's my question for Rush we already have charity
as you described that already exists and it doesn't work
it's not enough even with charity we live in a world where the
85 richest people have more wealth
then the bottom a 3.5
billion eighty-five people more money than
50 percent of the world
that is with charity that is with charity
it turns out that system enough it turns out that system sucks
bowls believe it rush limbaugh was a no that's how it should be
and yet Jesus was not in favor of what you're calling for
but Pope Francis really at a node
Jesus loved capitalism you know
this is how the right always frames it like oh yes Jesus is in favor the poor
reason favor the downtrodden
but only if its front through voluntary individuals charitable giving says
not via governments not be a any collective action
but we we we you just made that up you just made that up
it's fine to hold that opinion have their beliefs and are you for it of
course it's a free country to free world do that if you want to do that
but to say that that would Jesus wanted no no no that's what you want
that's not what Jesus wanted you ever heard this before
render unto Caesar zone what is Caesar's
know that says in the Bible you know that means
when Caesar taxes you pay your taxes and whatever the government chooses to spend
that money on it they want to set up a social safety net if they want to fund
infrastructure if they want to do whatever
military render unto Caesar is what is Caesar's
the idea that Jesus Christ delineated
well yes I'm in favor of helping the poor but first ladies and gentlemen
let's stick by this
capitalist ideology in this capitalist system
yes yes Jesus loved the Koch brothers last time I checked
he's big into I nor and loves our
so rush you don't know what you're talking about
you know and it's not marxism either any redistribution of wealth
any government safety net for the poor is marxism that every nation in the
world as Marxist
every nation in the world because every nation in the world has taxes to fund
roads
it bridges food inspectors you name it every nation in the world has
psalm form psalm level even if it's very meager other safety-net
so by your definition we are all marxist no marxist is the government-owned
everything they own the means of production and then they try to
distribute it evenly early pretend to distribute it evenly
what the Pope is calling for is hey guys can we tweak around the edges a little
bit to maybe stop sum up the
wanton any quality and brazenly poverty
but even that little vanilla approach that minor step in the right direction
rush limbaugh was like how dare the pope call for the stuff that Jesus was in
favor of
