Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit”, ..... He did not say that only destitute people could get to heaven. He did allude however, to the excessive love of material things and money, when he said it was “harder for a rich man to get to heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.” So, Jesus is saying we need a sharing and loving heart for those who are in poverty.

Jesus cares for the status of our hearts, not our bankbooks. It has nothing to do with external politics, but our own relationship to God and to his commandments.
