If you are rich Government is your best friend.
If you are not, Government is your worst enemy.

That is a fact of life. Except once. In 1776 the rich sacrifice EVERYTHING they had for the betterment of everyone. It just blows my mind. Never happened before, never happened again.

Not sure I agree with that - sorta depends what you mean, specifically, by “rich.”

To me, these days, that indicates maybe, say... fifty million in the bank or something like that.

Thankful it happened once, but BEYOND thankful Jesus sacrificed Himself “once for all”. He did tell believers not to worry about food and clothing, since God knows we need them. Of COURSE this doesn’t set aside work and prudent saving (see Proverbs), but God cares for birds. How “much more” will He care for us (who will not have a million banked)!
