To those who have shall more be given

Left behind in America: Who's to blame for the wealth divide? - Political Hotsheet - CBS News: "That wasn't even close: In reality, the top 20 percent controlled about 84 percent of the wealth, while the bottom quintile controlled just 0.1 percent. The combined net worth of the bottom 40 percent, in fact, accounted for just 0.3 percent of the nation's wealth. (See chart below, where that bottom 40 percent doesn't even show up.) "

When Jesus said the words in the heading it was in the nature of his similar statement that there will be wars and rumors of war. Both statements do not represent either the values he enunciates or the goals that he seeks. The values tend toward universal helpfulness and full equality and the goal is to give one's life so that Abba will be vindicated. Given Abba's bum rap in much of the Bible that is a major project. It requires what Nietzsche called a revaluation of values and what Deridda called the unprecedented.
