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

Which nation do you mean? The U.S. has always been hostile to the poor.

It was never "help the poor." It's simply become acceptable to admit it.

“So-called” is the operative (and hyphenated) word, here.

Fiat currency(thanks Nixon/Kissinger)is the largest faith-based system in human history. Its adherents greatly outnumber Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists or other belief systems focused on importance of spiritual development. They'll tell you:"God can't work without money."

When you lost the compassion crystal.

And yet it feels like it's been that way from inception. I'm sure there are ample passages in the Bible to justify it.

Maybe Christianity isn't as great as it markets itself to be? Like maybe there's been a centuries-long symbiotic relationship between the church establishment and the wealthy? 🤔

When wasn't it help the rich
