Charles Toy of The Christian Left has had it with self-declared "Christians" rationalizing their own self-interest:

"Frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing this epic cop-out on the part of Christians: "I wonder if Jesus meant for the government to feed the poor, or for us to voluntarily give to make sure all the poor people have food." Many don't even wonder about the notion.

They insist they know. Provision and care for the least of these -- the sick, the poor, the homeless, the addicted, the mentally ill, the displaced, the marginalized -- is an individual mandate. Human institutions of government have no business worrying about such things.

What a load of Bull dung.

How many passages of God's word do they need?"

Hear hear. He goes on to cite just a handful of Biblical passages, merely scratching the surface, from the hundreds that so obviously put the lie to those who profess the view that God wants an aristocratic, wealthy minority class.
