This doesn't mean Christ would be a Leftist, which is what I fear many of you on the "Right" feel is being insinuated. This doesn't take a genius. Look at any of the theocratic governments throughout history, as well as in the present. Do they differ that much from a system that is highly centralized?? How "free" was the market in Afghanistan? What did the Taliban (though hypocritical they were) do to the farms that grew the poppi for Heroin?? Why did they do this???

Simply because theocratic governments did certain things doesn't mean that Christ would, or that he would want a government that did.

The rich should aid the poor. Simple as that.

I believe that the above citations would indicate that Christ did not approve of being rich, period.
