WE MUST FIND WAYS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO BE GOOD

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND - More about structural sin and free trade 

Free trade came as a thief in the night destroying jobs in its path. Milllions suffered the lost of their jobs and businesses. Workers were locked out of their jobs. A new working poor class was created as the production workers middle class was vanquished. 



 

There is a distinction between individualism and personality.  Our personality reaches out to others for the sake of the common good for all in society.  We all have the personal responsibility to respond to the evil we see lurking in society.

Structural sin has a way of masking what is evil especially in our economic day which is set on rugged individualism and radical competition where we let powerful forces rule events that are not in tune with the Christian message of doing unto others as you would have them do to you. Instead we have  economic systems like raw Capitalism Free Trade Economics where money and profits  violate the rights of others who are due a just wage or fair markup for the fruits of their labor.  Many in power have a plantation owner mentality thinking they know what is best for workers in economic settings In our times, many have lost the sense of the evil in the economic day and live off the suffering of others who make the things we use and consume. The Bible shows the only time Jesus got angry is when we confronted the money changers in the temple.  In our global economy, the money changers are in control and apparently have a plantation owner mentality using free trade economics as a way to manipulate values including the value of workers and labor for the sake of profits.  Production is subject to investments and is moved anywhere in the world for the sake of cheaper labor markets and avoiding the responsiblity for human dignity in the workday. They say their process is the best useful good for all even though million of workers lose their jobs and businesses for the sake of the whole.  Worst yet, free trade economics has no faith that human nature is up to the task of seeking the life ideal on earth for all.

In our country, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans exposed a vast underclass population living in a silent depression. It was unreported in the media and there were really no statistics covering the situation even though the problem is evidently exists across our land in many cities, towns and rural areas. When a  question of moral evil arises, we must personally get involved. Our governments do not  have provisions for handling many of these situations and more than notactively or inactively avoid the issues. Governments can only do what the people react to.  The solution rests with personal actions. The system can not change by itself. If fact the system is usually off track in many situations that can be called social or structural sin. The priority is to first change ourselves and acknowlege  how free trade economics  hurt our fellow man and society as a whole.

 

Pope John Paul mentions the concept of structual sin. Sociology is a social science has been ignored relating to sin. Systems do arise and assimilate social habits  from individual sins. Liberation Theology rising up in South America approach this flaw in human nature in the way we confront the struggles against poverty. Liberation Theology got a bad name internally by some Jesuits preaching it in a forceful way even calling for radical protests. However, Bishop Oscar Romero was never a part of this group.  He will soon become a saint in the Catholic Church giving his life for the sake of the poor.  He believed in liberation of workers' dignity.

Ray's journals foretold the coming our economic crisis years ago based on several experts including Sir James Goldsmith who wrote THE TRAP and Manuel Castells who predicted the coming of the Bewildered New World as it is today. There were others like Chuck Harder, host of For the People who with Dr Pat Choate and well respected journalist J.D. Cash foretold the story in the early 1990s

The core of our economic crisis today can be traced to 1994 when President Clinton pushed the passage of the elder President Bush's free trade program which included NAFTA and GATT trade agreements. They were passed by a Democrat controlled Congress which joined hands with Republicans Rep Newt Gingrich and Senator Bob Dole. Commentators like Rush Limbaugh who had a very large following locked hands with President Clinton in promoting the passage of both NAFTA and GATT. GATT was passed in a Thanksgiving Day vacation lameduck session of Congress after the Contract with America Republicans won the election and were due to take over in January.
Soon after, President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso and the Mexican economy. NAFTA had proved to be a completely failed program with millions of Mexican fleeing their country seeking economic survival in the USA.

This was a sign of things to come. It was the first stimulus package except it went to a foreign country. Later President Bush, the second, initiated his economic stimulus package. When this was being debated in Congress, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that the best way to stimulate the economy was to buy "domestically produced goods."

This obviously came too late and it is still ignored by many globalist free traders as the cause of our economic crisis. Our economy based on making money on money instead of making things is burning out. President Obama followed and bailed out the big money interests who caused the crisis and put them back in charge.

The U.S. has suffered the most massive dislocation of jobs in its history. A working poor class and an underclass now reside in a silent depression and there is no base to support the needs of our society. Many who are still working are homeless or need government assistance to survive as the tax base gets smaller and smaller
