   EC>>I don't know about that, but when you see someone say things like   
   EC>>"The economy exists for the person, not the person for the economy"   
   EC>>you know right off that they understand nothing of economics.   
      
    JB> Indeed, especially the business aspect of it.   
      
    You mean the business that sunk this country into a near   
    depression?   
      
   EC>>Did you catch the "right to work" part?  And the "corresponding duty   
   EC>>to work?"  Interesting that the "right" to food does not have a   
   EC>>corresponding "duty" to eat.  Nor is there a corresponding duty of   
   EC>>farmers to give away their food.   
      
    JB> Yes.  Where I was really going towards is that the   
    JB> socialist liberal will always start out talking about   
    JB> equality, opportunity, fairness etc. Then about halfway   
    JB> through the conversation it will turn into rights,   
    JB> entitlements etc.  They will often confuse opportunity with   
    JB> entitlements.   
      
    You have a problem with Catholic teachings I see.   
      
      
    A Catholic Framework for Economic Life   
      
    A Statement of the U.S. Catholic Bishops   
      
    November 1996   
      
    As followers of Jesus Christ and participants in a powerful   
    economy, Catholics in the United States are called to work for   
    greater economic justice in the face of persistent poverty,   
    growing income-gaps, and increasing discussion of economic   
    issues in the United States and around the world. We urge   
    Catholics to use the following ethical framework for economic   
    life as principles for reflection, criteria for judgment and   
    directions for action. These principles are drawn directly from   
    Catholic teaching on economic life.   
      
    1. The economy exists for the person, not the person for the   
    economy.
