Bernie Sanders “Hearts” the Pope
February 24, 2016
Not because he’s ever met the man but because, says Bernie, the pope is a fellow socialist who believes, as Bernie does, that he can help the poor by destroying capitalism, the sole source of prosperity, job creation, and poverty reduction in the world.
If this President of the United States thing doesn’t work out for him Bernie would make a good Jesuit, maybe even as president of Loyola University-New Orleans which proudly labels itself as “Social Justice University.” (“Social Justice” is of course just another euphemism for the “S” word, socialism, just like “economic democracy” or “liberation theology”).
Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo [send him mail] is a former professor of economics at Loyola University Maryland and a longtime member of the senior faculty of the Mises Institute. He is the author or co-author of eighteen books including The Real Lincoln; How Capitalism Saved America; Lincoln Unmasked; Hamilton's Curse; Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government; The Problem with Socialism; and The Politically-Incorrect Guide to Economics.
