Hit the bullseye!

We ALREADY HAVE income redistribution! It’s just going the wrong way.

Or, maybe what Jesus REALLY meant to say was “when I was rich, you gave Me more money...” or “it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a poor homeless person to get into Heaven...”

Or... wait, don’t tell me... you know that story about Jesus and the rich young man? That rich young man is ACTUALLY the guy Jesus welcomed as one of the new Apostles, and then anointed as the first Pope!
