It is absolutely true that some people will be poor no matter what, and some will be rich. That is the way of the world. But there is a reason (or many) why greed, lust, and envy have always been called “wrong”. They ruin the heart.

If a person is poor, they should not envy the rich. And if someone is rich, he shouldn’t take advantage of the poor. If taxes were lower, more people would be inclined to donate to charity to help the poor. And private charities (especially faith based ones, and non-PC ones) actually do much more good - infinitely more good - than any gov “programs”, which only keep people enchained in poverty forever. And what is worse than poverty, enchained in irresponsibility and immorality. Poverty of the spirit is so much worse.
