Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The capitalist economic system, which has both winners and losers, is not God. it's just the system that produces the most goods and services, giving most people a chance to live more comfortable lives.
Socialism is the system which attempts to step into the role of God, but which actually epitomizes the Devil.

Valid point, and I agree with you. But, I'm talking about people who can't afford to eat. I've been in that particular hell in the past, and if the condition isn't rectified, it kills the spirit eventually, along with the body.
On the other hand, maybe cities, towns and the citizenry can get back to a point where we actually helped those less fortunate. Food kitchens, Meals on Wheels, and volunteer cooking at placesd like Senior Citizens' Centers, local shelters, etc.
I know you didn't suggest such a thing specifically, but you may have unknowing planted a seed. I'm starting to see all kinds of ways that the idea could work.
