TheWrightWing is the one who doesn't want to supply condoms or 'planned parenthood' or decent education. You're barking up the wrong tree.
But I get it, here's who you hate:
Atheists
Gays
Muslims
The Poor

In vs.17-22 a rich man comes to Jesus asking how to have eternal life he points to the commandments of which he replies that he has kept them since he was young. Jesus sees he is sincere in his pursuit and loved him by saying the one thing that was hindering him: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”
Sounds like he wants everyone to give up their riches to me, for that is the one thing that is stopping him entering the kingdom of heaven. Also sounds like re-distribution of wealth, would you disagree?edit on 15-12-2013 by iRoyalty because: (no reason given)

AIDS arose in the gay community... distinctively in California "bath houses" where homosexuals go to wash eachother.

So says the story... but that has nothing to do with the OP.
He asking a question. Would Jesus approve of our current system?
I say NO.. he wouldn't and its only a matter of time before a broken system breaks in half!

The fact that our "Father" gave in the beginning ( life.. spirit) and continues to give is why we are also supposed to be a giver at heart. This is why Jesus says that if a man asks for something to give it to him. Being a giver is a selfless act and one that Jesus portrays over and over in His- Story.

"Why I Think God Warned us About Conservatives and Capitalism"
lets just leave Jesus out of this shall we?
we first must ascertain is the OP believes in Jesus and the Trinity?
but if it was my choice... before it's too late... let Jesus back in our schools and just turn the whole darn school system over to the Church of Jesus Christ and nuns!

Giving is voluntary, having your property removed by force and penalty of law is not giving, an important difference.
Allowing oneself to be looted, too, does not qualify as giving.
Removing property from another person or voting for a legal system which will do it for you (under the mistaken idea that you have a right to other peoples property) is nothing at all like "asking for something".
Voluntary charity is in fact giving, and a good thing.
