A slip-and-fall lawyer, a liberal congressman, a defense contractor, and the pope walk into a bar.  They are all looking for the same thing: money on the table. 

"Money on the table" is a phrase often used by attorneys negotiating civil settlements and contractors bidding on defense programs.  It's a philosophy implying that other people's money is theirs for the taking.

Legislators look at other people's money the same way.  There is a pot of money, U.S. total income, that is there for them to tax and spend in order to achieve their ends: winning the next election. 

The lawyer, the congressman, and the contractor have one thing in common.  They are in the business of using the full power of the government to forcibly take money from one group of folks, in order to give it to themselves and their clients/constituents.

Although his motives are altruistic, in some respects, the pope apparently looks at the United States and the rest of the world in much the same way, albeit with a much larger scope and scale.  The pope has a righteous, worldwide charter to assist the poor.  In that regard, he doesn't consider borders.  He sees poverty, income inequality, and other issues as global problems, requiring global solutions.  He looks at the total poverty problem and balances it against total global wealth. 

His solution, however, is the same as that of his bar companions.  "Don't ever leave money on the table."  He sees U.S. wealth and income as a global asset that can, nay, must be tapped into to solve global problems.  This attitude toward other people's money is why he believes he can come to the United States and guilt U.S. lawmakers into forcibly taking more money from American taxpayers for the purpose of redistributing it.  He achieves this redistribution via support for climate change remedies and unfettered immigration to the United States.  Both of these will have the effect of transferring Western (read: U.S.) wealth to the Third World. 

In the case of climate change, actual U.S. wealth will be either directly given to third-world countries or indirectly given via regulations unilaterally imposed on U.S. industries, in order to give third-world countries a competitive advantage.  His immigration philosophy will bring the third-world poor to the United States and, as a result of their pressure on our safety net, ultimately bring the U.S. standard of living down to the Third World's level.

The pope is a man of the cloth.  I can understand and support his desire to exhort all individuals to do as Christ would have us do: to help the poor.  When he advocates using the power of government to coerce such behavior, he crosses the line from being a kind, gentle man of the cloth to becoming yet another liberal politician.
