Willow Branches in Autumn Winds

Seriously?

This is a quote from a recent article in World Magazine criticizing the Occupy Movement:

When a politician is using the powers delegated to him to go after a company that sells water, food, and gasoline at temporarily obscene profits in a hurricane stricken area, he receives the admiration of the uneducated public. Instead, he should be voted out of office for decreasing the number of companies who choose to take the risks of bringing the necessary supplies to the suffering. As Ludwig Von Mises could point out, the gain of the entrepreneur is not the outcome of the natural disaster, “but the aid he gives to those afflicted.”

This wouldn’t bother me nearly as much if World’s tag line wasn’t “Today’s News | Christian Views.”

I don’t believe profits are evil. But can we really go as far as to say that it’s perfectly OK to make “obscene profits” off of people who have already suffered great losses in a natural disaster? And can we honestly call this a Christian view?
