Jesus taught that the poor will always be with us. I don't need any other lessons in the subject or lectures from an "expert" in social "justice" (who probably got quite rich in being this) to provide further clarification.

No matter what we as a society can do, the notion that some poverty-free utopia can exist on Earth is folly.

As Rush told a caller last week, sure he makes alot of money but he gives more to charity and pays more in taxes in one year than shlubs like the professor makes in their lifetime. Without the rich giving to charities the poor would be even poorer. The rich already redistribute their wealth but it’s on their terms, not some social planners.

But it's about what is right in terms of redistribution.

Nada...Zilch...Zero...Not a d*mn thing is right about redistribution ref. Ten Commandments

How can Money be ungodly?

All I Can Say Over The Past 60 years we have Had Politicians who have Changed the Immigration System,1965 the Immigation Reform Act Championed By None Other than the Massachussets Wonder Ted Kennedy that changed the Quota system to Take More Immigrants from Africa ,Asia and Latin America,You Know all those Bastions Of Freedom And Democracy. Now you can Read Kennedys speeches at the Time where he Said that by Passing that act IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE UNITED STATES. Look around and see how Profound that statement was. Import all the Poor and Illiterate from third world areas with no Understanding of Democracy,Freedom,Liberty,Provide all kinds of Government Programs,Educate them to Victim Status which Creates a Burgeoning State Bureauracy with High Paid Government EXPERTS who along with a Bleeding Heart Communist Education establishment that Indoctrinates More Of the same and then Complain about How Capitalism has caused this Mess that is a Threat to Democracy.
When you have a Democracy, Which we are Not, we are a Republic,I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States Of America,And to the REPUBLIC,for which it Stands... ,Then you end up with Half of the People who dont pay ANY income Taxes,then turn around and Vote to Raise Taxes on everyone else to pay for their Largess.
I can tell you this you dont end up with The United States Of America,you end up with Union Thugs dictating to your so called Duly elected Reresentatives to Run into other States,Then Importing the Rabble Rousing Left wing Loons who Flout the Rule of Law and Encourage the Circus we Now see Playing out in Wisconsin soon to be playing out all across the Country.
I hope a Leader soon emerges to Inject some sanity back into our System or our Children wont have to worry about how much taxes they will be Paying,they will be just be looking to where their next meal will be coming from
