Excerpt of An Open Letter To Senators Kennedy, Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi, et al
"Socialists, therefore, by endeavoring to transfer the possessions of individuals to the community at large, strike at the interests of every wage-earner, since they would deprive him of the liberty of disposing of his wages, and thereby of all hope and possibility of increasing his resources and of bettering his condition in life. "
Pope Leo XIII ( 1810-1903)
