I think God expects us to share from our abundance, but I don’t think the intent is that you will give up all worldly possessions, just that you won’t let them rule your life. Also the definition of “rich” is tricky, is that a villager who owns 3 head of cattle-rich or a Bill Gates Billionaire-rich? or something in between?

Theoretically, you’re right. Practically, the rich man is an attitude of acquisitiveness. Gaining wealth, or at least sustaining it, takes precedence.

In this light, when the argument against health care being paid for by higher taxes is that it’s taking money away from people is, it is “the rich” demonstrating how they will not be caring for the least of these my brethren.
