One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the lie that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant crossing illegally than we are about bullies with unprecedented wealth and power.

“When we care for the least among us, we encounter Christ Himself, for He is present in the faces of the poor and vulnerable.”
(From Bread for the Journey)
We need to keep to a balance.There are laws in our country that have been overlooked. While we try to keep people safe, we are taking care of people in our communities, the widowed, poor, and transgressed. It seems all or nothing right now but keep doing the good and the balance will be seen.
We can look for the ways that wealth benefits a community. Look for the silent benefactors. Let's not swipe them into an "evil and dark" class that we can pounce our anger against.
