Matthew 13
More proof he's never seen the thing.
How he ever won the dem primary with quotes like that is beyond me.
Guess he missed the part "If you teach a man to fish you feed him for life"
That makes sense. I was thinking your response was more along the lines of a typical liberal "the poor are honorable and the wealthy are evil," but now I see that your response was to a thoughtless "the poor are poor because they don't work, and the rich are rich because they slave away."
Of course, there are hardworking wealthy people, and hardworking poor people.
Frankly, I discounted the comment you responded to simply because it started with the taking-the-Lord's-name-in-vain triteness "OMG"....
"Nowhere in the three-year ministry of Jesus Christ did I find a suggestion at all, ever, anywhere, in any way whatsover, that you ought to take the money from the poor, the opportunities from the poor and give them to the rich people."
Also, nowhere did he find a suggestion that you ought to take money from the rich and give to the poor. Many, MANY times the rich are told directly to give to the poor, but never is there a suggestion that any of us are authorized to take from one person to give to another.
