places where they spend their time listening to sermons about how God is blessing them because they are rich and have worked hard (using daddy's money as a starter). Then the pastor asks for money so he can live the abundant life too!

They walk out all smiling because they know they are "saved" unlike the poor who are being punished. They vote against aid to the poor because that would mean their taxes won't be cut but they love lotteries because the poor buy the most tickets in the hope of getting rich but the money goes to keep the rich from having to pay more school tax and pays for their kids' scholarships.
