12. God likes progressive taxation and the estate tax
It easier for a a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man (ie, for a man who dies rich) to enter the gates of heaven.
God isn't saying that it's wrong to accumulate wealth. He's saying that if all your life was about was about the accumulation of useless wealth and power, accumulated in way that deprived others of polital will and dignity, you're going to hell.
