Though Jesus was not born rich, His family on both sides were not poor. His Mother was related (first cousins, IIRC) to a man who owned lead mines and smelting plants. Joseph, His adopting Father, was part of a land owning family, and of course His adopting Father remained in the family and taught Him the craft of carpentry. Joseph worked for a living and supported his family.
Its clear this moron knows nothing about the families of Mary and Joseph. They were far from penniless. at least until they paid their taxes which is why they were in Bethlehem in the first place. Maybe the message here is paying taxes makes you penniless.
Merry Christmas the Son of God is Born to ius to usher in redemption.
