Bible quote: "a rich man will have as much chance getting into heaven as a camel will getting through the eye of a needle".
Jesus believed in taking care of the poor and if you look at the way Jesus lived his life - most people would say he was a socialist.
Now the Religious right wingers will argue that Jesus didn't mean the government, that Jesus meant the "people" should take care of the people.
Ok, so isn't government made up of people?
Isn't that a core Republican argument that corporations are "people"?
Mitt Romney seems to think so.
Right wing talk show hosts seem to think so.
Republicans trying to subvert the democratic process seem to think so.
My question to these same people is if corporations are "people" because corporations are made up of people - then wouldn't governments be "people" to, for the same reasoning?
