The whole “Eat The Rich” mentality is unbiblical. It is the socialist-anarchist mantra.

So is “No Gods No Masters”.

And yet they still want SOME system of structure to provide socialized medicine.

In their bicycle fueled utopia where they are in charge.

"The whole “Eat The Rich” mentality is unbiblical. It is the socialist-anarchist mantra."

True. But governments helping the poor IS biblical. There has to be balance. You don't bankrupt the country helping the poor. You don't help the poor by tearing down the rich. Nowhere does scripture call for equality of material possessions. But it does call for us to help the poor. Scripture doesn't call for us to do it wastefully or without incentives to work, or specify how much. And scripture specifically says the poor are always with you. We can't eliminate the poor. But both individuals and governments are called to help them.

Jer 22:15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest [thyself] in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him? Jer 22:16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him: was] not this to know me? saith the LORD.

Pro 29:14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

Dan 4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Socialism is one extreme. No mercy to the poor is the other and is equally bad. "We the People" are rulers of this country. And we need to heed what the Lord told the kings of old, if we wish to continue to rule.
