"BORN on THIRD BASE : a one per center makes the case for tackling inequality and bringing the wealthy home and committing to the common good. " by Chuck Collins

Just finished reading an interview with someone who took up the Pope's challenge way back when he was 26 when he gave up his millions of inheritance. New focus addressing economic inequality and environmental issues. Chuck Collins was 'born on third base' which is an awesome way to say 1% -er with a fabulous visual of just what that 'means' in real life. Connect that visual to what Pope Francis speaks to and Chuck Collins writes a "face for the rich man" born on third base... in the Gospel. Chuck's choice? go for home! 
"...we can all tell true stories, about the role of grace,luck,family help,public investment,and subsidies in our lives. We can disrupt and debunk the mythology of individual deservedness and white advantage-while celebrating individual choices, sacrifices and gifts."
