"Such 'Christian' politicians regularly misuse Biblical passages to blame the impoverished for their poverty. There is never a suggestion that the rich, who have stolen people’s wages and engorged themselves by denying them healthcare, are in any way to blame." Read on! truthout.org/articles/tru...
