I think they should remind legislators not to forget the people that actually work hard for their money. These hard working middle class people are the people that are going to suffer once the goverment dips into our pockets and hands our money out to the welfare people.

Gordy “Saviour of the World” Brown is as crooked as a DNA helix, and a useless Prime Minister:​

 
Should’n the POPE set an example and start sharing!
In many posts it has been established how the VATICAN’S
wealth cannot be given away because it really does not belong to the vatican but to the human race. Ok I agree with that.
But counting for the fact of the millions and millions of dollars the Vatican collects yearly from donations given by all the people that visit St. Peter’s cathedral every day, can’t they find it in their heart to keep a little less and share a little more!

Jesus did not live in luxury nor dress in such an opulent manner.,
why must the Pope?

The Catholic Church has grown into a worldwide Church, not to mention Vatican City is it’s own country. The cost of maintaining a worldwide Church and running a soverign nation takes a fair amount of money to accomplish. In fact, after all of the expenditures get paid there is very little left. The Pope owns nothing, everything he has, he was given, or is borrowed. I can understand if The Vatican was spending billions of dollars per year building souvineer shops, hot dog stands, theme parks and mini-golf courses, but they don’t. They maintain what they have. The Vatican’s “wealth” exists in property value. They don’t have a huge pile of cash sitting around they can distribute.

They certainly don’t blindly spend trillions of untraceable dollars on who knows what? Like the US government.
