Readers might enjoy this hilarious interpretation of “thou shalt not steal” from Walter Williams, some sort of pundit I guess:
>There’s a more fundamental question that I’d put to the pope: Should the Roman Catholic Church support the welfare state? Or, put more plainly, should the Church support the use of the coercive powers of government to enable one person to live at the expense of another? Put even more plainly, should the Church support the government’s taking the property of one person and giving it to another to whom it doesn’t belong? When such an act is done privately, we call it theft.
For more a humorous (and thorough) analysis, see Sadly, No!
“Put even more plainly, should the Church support the government’s giving [property] to another to whom it doesn’t belong?”
Or, to put it even more plainly, I, Walter E. Williams, know better than the pope to who belongs what.
Either a very small camel or a very big eye in that needle…
