I have made that point before. We have perverted Christianity into a blasphemous (imho) God favors the rich and the poor get what they deserve ethos that has absolutely nothing to do with anything you will read in the Gospels or various epistles.

I was going to add more but just got up from a nap. But yes I would agree. I also see it as idolitry in which people like Romney and other venture capitalists become the idols for which the masses to worship upon. The rewards are wealth rather than eternal happiness. The masses then worship these business “leaders” at the expense of the individual or individuals (i.e. the masses or our fellow citizens). Those that oppose these predatory idols are seen as apostates to the God of wealth. This is done even by the very same class or group of people that fall victims to this predation.
