I know nothing about your life and do not want to know but I am certain you are not doing horrible things. Some people do very bad things in pursuit of their wealth and do not feel bad about it at all. Why do you feel the need to defend them? When you look at capitalism warts and all it is clearly destructive in some respects, it is not heresy to point out how it damages people, the environment and our political process.
Because the Popes inflammatory rhetoric makes no distinction between me, the good people I know, and those who do do "horrible things".
YOu lefties generally don't.
THe most successful person I know, is a self made millionaire.
I knew him in college.
He was a dual computer science/Physics major.
He spent 3 years in japan teaching english.
He has been working for microsoft for a long time.
He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.
Also, politically left. DIdn't give much thought to it, and conformed to standard college indoctrination.
He married a japanese old maid. He kids are bi-racial.
The Pope insulted him, his wife, and his children.
THE Pope is an asshole.
