Perhaps rather than "left" or "right"; "conservative" or "liberal" labeling ... we might want to look at our Catholic Social Teachings.  

For over 100 years, it has been calling for us to ensure we have inclusive economies - ones that enable all to have life with dignity.  

For over 50 - and affirmed by Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis they have called for an overhaul of our social structures so that all within could have life with dignity for the full continuum - and that economies/development must the common good of all.  

Interesting that these teachings, which are part of our Official Teachings of our Church - is not our "go to" place for us as Catholics to prayerfully discern our reactions to such social challenges.  

To me - we need critical informed examination as to why these teaching have not been taken serious.
 
Given these teachings, we need critical examination as to why we have not been on the front lines led by  clergy and K of C in full regalia.
