So...show me where Jesus is quoted as having thought or said that the wealth of the rich must be taken from them and given to the poor. Because THAT'S Communism. Jesus never said to take money from the rich and give it to the poor just as he never said to defecate in a toilet but what he said means that. It would be wonderful if the rich gave some of their money to the poor, but they won't do that. Jesus taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves, but this specifically means that a rich person shares his wealth, among other things. For Jesus you can't use money because of the rule of loving your neighbor as yourself. What price do you want to pay for goods or services? The less money as possible and the less money as possible is zero dollar then you can't ask money or anything for your labor. According to Jesus we have to get rid of money.

Anyone who thinks Jesus was a Communist or supporter of Communism really has no idea of what Jesus taught and what Communism is. Many rich people give a lot of their wealth to charity. In B.C. Jimmy Pattison, who owns many companies, gives a percentage of his wealth to charities every year. He is known for building a health centre which is named after him. There is also reports that he once put a cheque for a million dollars in a church collection plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the rich do give to the poor. It's called "charity". Yet...you claim to know not what a guy 2000+ years ago said...but what he "meant" and thus...for making such a wild claim... You're Disqualified. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted December 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Socialists and Socialist politicians in Canada seem to believe a bad public health care system in Canada is better than a good private health care system. In Canada the public health care system is failing with long waiting lists, over-crowded emergency rooms to the point some of them are ready to collapse and millions of Canadians with no family doctor. How could anyone call that a public health care system? It is certainly not providing equitable service for everyone. The Socialist politicians that have the responsibility to run it are failing miserably. One of the problems is that the politicians are pressured from all sides to provide services of all kinds and solve all problems for everyone. There is not enough money in the pot to solve everything so they end up giving every cause a small piece of the pie. So health care gets a limited amount of funds, not enough to run properly. One of the characteristics of Socialism is bureaucracy grows like mad and becomes unmanageable. Everyone wants a piece of the pie or the public money source.

Rich don't give to poor because there would be no rich. If there is a rich it is because he didn't give his money to poor, yes or no? More than that, if he is rich it is because he stole guys, he took more than his fair share then he should be arrested by the police.
