According To Scripture…

According to the scriptures found in the 1611 King James Version of the Holy Bible, a rich but greedy person and all his helpers cannot get into heaven.  We find in Luke 16: 19-25 the verdict.  It reads:  (19) “There was a rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared lavishly every day:  (20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which lay at his gate, full of sores, (21) and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table, moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.  (22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: The rich man died and was buried: Matthew 8:11, Hebrew 1:14, (23) and in hell he looked up his eyes, being in torment and seethe Abraham afar off, and Lazarus at his bosom.  (24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.  (25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things and now he is comforted, and thou are suffering.”

How can any Christians desire to tear down the Christian society?  Our Christian nation created in the 1930s?  The rich and their elected lackeys need your vote to keep Lazarus at the gate.  The rich and their elected lackeys are well on the way to destroying social security, Medicare, unemployment insurance and disability insurance, paid for by the worker, every time a worker gets a paycheck, called payroll tax.  The lackeys oppose a living wage while they pile up billions, refusing to pay the workers whose sweat made them rich.  We were once a Christian nation that the world admired.  The Rich Lackeys stopped the Peace Corp and turned us into a war people, enjoying killing millions to help the rich get richer.

We once had the most healthy, wealthy, and wise nation with laws that made the Rich pay a living wage.  Let us pray that we have the wisdom to elect people to Congress that are for Lazarus and the rest of our poor American Christians.  Adequate wages will wipe out poverty as it did in the 1930-1940 era.
