How did a so-called Christian nation transition so seamlessly from “help the poor” to “help the rich?”

Wealth in this Country is akin to godliness. Did we not cast out demons in your name? Go from me ye workers of iniquity. I know you not.

My opposition is to a bloated bureaucratic state. Help the poor by eliminating the middle man. #UBI

Like forcing the transfer of debt accumulated by the nation's highest wage earners with college degrees to its lowest income earners without college degrees? Totally corrupt politicians that serve special interests without regard to basic concerns for equal protection, obviously.

Psychology. The oligarchic plutocracy uses it to make the people oblivious to their suffering while they endlessly feed the rich.

Because it’s being run by non-Christians.

Because early American Christians viewed wealth as a sign of God’s favor and got confused about the message of Jesus. Today’s evangelicals don’t follow anything resembling the Bible.
