Greetings

If Jesus says the poor are blessed, why do Christians bless them so little? Why do Christians favor programs that hurt the poor at the expense of corporate interests? Why do we, as a whole, prefer tax cuts to after-school programs? Why do we support infants until they are born but rail against welfare mothers after they give birth? I believe in a Jesus who blessed the poor, following a long prophetic tradition of inveighing for the rights of the dispossessed. That, at least, is the goal. I'll see you soon.
