The Pope should be please with the U.S. then. Our "government" is extorting and
" redistributing" 50% of what everyone makes. But then maybe thats not enough.

Pope Francis is not a Marxist but he wants what the Marxist are fighting for.

Subject: [sparkscoffee] Pope Francis Calls For 'Legitimate Redistribution' Of
Wealth To The Poor
VATICAN CITY (AP) 5/9/2014 - Pope Francis called Friday for governments
to redistribute wealth to the poor in a
new spirit of generosity to help curb the "economy of exclusion" that is
taking hold today.
Francis made the appeal during a speech to U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon and the heads of major U.N.
agencies who are meeting in Rome this week.
Latin America's first pope has frequently lashed out at the injustices
of capitalism and the global economic system
that excludes so much of humanity.
On Friday, Francis called for the United Nations to promote a "worldwide
ethical mobilization" of solidarity with
the poor in a new spirit of generosity.
He said a more equal form of economic progress can be had through "the
legitimate redistribution of economic benefits
by the state, as well as indispensable cooperation between the private
sector and civil society."
Francis had a similar message to the World Economic Forum in January and
in h is apostolic exhortation "The Joy of the Gospel."
That document, which denounced trickle-down economic theories as
unproven and naive, provoked criticism in the U.S. that he was Marxist.
Francis has denied he's Marxist, and spent years in Argentina battling
Marxist excesses of liberation theology. But he has said
from the outset that he wants a church that "is poor and for the poor"
and ministers to the most marginal of society.
On Friday, he urged the U.N. to promote development goals that attack
the root causes of poverty and hunger, protect the environment
and ensure "dignified" labor for all.
"Specifically, this involves challenging all forms of injustices and
resisting the economy of exclusion, the throwaway culture and the
culture of death which nowadays sadly risk becoming passively accepted,"
he said.
