is a religious belief among some Christians, who hold that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one's material wealth.

God wanted them to be rich. Oh and of course it's because they work hard and everyone else is lazy and stupid.

The article is mainly about the divide among people who live in the same areas. The ones who have good jobs are encouraged to look down on the ones who don't. It's the thinking of many Trumpsters who want to cut benefits for their own neighbors.
