[quote=Anonymous]For any religious person with wealth, when people meet you, they are wondering why you haven't given your money away to the needy. They may not say it out loud, and they may not even know that they are thinking this consciously, but they are thinking it. This is one of the reasons Mitt Romney lost. People just didn't trust him, and they couldn't quite put their fingers on why they didn't. The wealth is the reason. Jesus wasn't wealthy, and he did call upon people to be broke. He asked the disciples to give up their livelihoods. He cast the money changers out of the temple. A lot of people on the religious right might argue that giving money away encourages dependency,but there are plenty of organizations that just invest in businesses started by the poor, or give people in developing countries a one time benefit of a productive asset, like a cow or an irrigation pump.
