“Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the words from Pope Francis and his views on getting money out of politics.
Not one to shy away from progressive thought, Pope Francis has spoken out against money in politics that he sees as a ‘corrupting influence’. His comments came during a recent visit to his birth nation of Argentina that is in the middle of its own nation elections. He called on those participating in the elections to not expect bribes, calling favoritism and influence of the rich or groups with access to vast resources of wealth as completely avoidable. The Pope went on the suggest that politicians around the world could benefit from following the same advice, allowing the needs of the people to come first.”
