There is very much a flavor of social justice in the article.

There is also a tendency to confuse greed and wealth. They are not the same. I think there are a great many greedy poor people.

Note the following:

Luk 18:24 When Jesus saw this, He said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!
Luk 18:25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Luk 18:26 Those who heard this said, “Then who in the world can be saved?”
Luk 18:27 He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”

It doesn’t say rich people don’t enter the kingdom, but that it takes God to get it done. Same for poor people.

Those are very good points.

Funny...for years, I have discovered I can sniff out a liberal if not in the first few words they write, in the first sentence. Occasionally I get it wrong (particularly when it is satire, or if the writer is making an intentional decision to mislead with the lead) but the ability to do it has served me well.

You learn to read between the lines, and to see it quickly.
