[Choose Ye This Day]

Mr. Wallis, a registered Democrat, told the senators that the Bible contains more than 3,000 references to alleviating poverty.

I wonder how many Bible references there are to mandatory, forced redistribution of wealth from haves to have nots, with no success in alleviating, much less in eliminating, poverty among a society.

Now that you mention it, something does come to mind...I recall Jesus telling some rich young fella to sell everything he owned and give the proceeds to the poor...'Course it's a matter of free will...You don't have to do anything...Well, that's not quite so accurate...You DO have to go to Hell, if you don't go to heaven...
