Website title:

....the wealthy are critical of the Pope for his criticism of all-out capitalism...the kind we've seen accelerate in the last few decades, starting with Reagan....to the point where our cities are littered with homeless families living in encampments all around us....

...Volkswagon admitted it programmed its cars to cheat when tested for emissions....it's a big scandal for which they've immediately set aside 7 billion dollars to handle things. That's a lot of cash to have on hand...which reminds us just how much money these people been making while the rest of us work harder and get poorer....

...it couldn't have come at a better time for the Pope, who's been catching Republican hell for interfering with "our values"....like those who say he should stick to gods and angels and leave finance to those "who know"....yeah, they know.

...The Greed-is-Good mantra of the last 30 years plus the drive for ever more profits and stock shares could only lead us here....this drive is so strong that smart people are forced to find ways of cheating because there are less and less honorable ways to make big bucks..and it's BIG bucks people want...eventually you have to cheat...cheat on Wall Street, cheat on real estate and mortgage rates, cheat on stock manipulation, cheat on food safety, and cheat on emissions tests...and who knows what else.

...this is fraud on a massive scale...but, will anyone go to jail over this crime?
