  • [Hay una extraña división en el pensamiento común de la izquierda religiosa, que se apresura a denunciar el afán de lucro y el mercantilismo. Sin embargo, parecen pensar que la clave de la felicidad es dar a la gente más cosas, recurriendo al poder coercitivo del gobierno. Esta perversa forma de pensar sostiene que la "justicia social" exige que quitemos dinero a quienes lo han ganado y se lo demos a quienes tienen menos. Eso no es justicia social, es materialismo.

[There is] a strange split in thinking common to those on the religious left, who are quick to denounce the profit motive and commercialism. Yet, they seem to think that the key to happiness is giving people more stuff - by enlisting the coercive power of government. This perverse way of thinking holds that 'social justice' demands that we take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have less of it. That's not social justice; that's materialism. - Robert Sirico
