If it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is
for a rich man to get into heaven, why should it be so easy for rich men to get into our government?
Listening to the disucssion with Norm Ornstein talking about how the Congress (and the media) have let Americans down and the suggested changes for improving Congress' work on behalf of the American people, it occurred to me that most of the Congress can't really identify with average Americans...their wealth blinds them.
Although I am a christian and attend mass (more than) weekly, this passage has always terrified me. Although I am not wealthy by the standards of the GOP, I am very certain that I am wealthy in the eyes of God. I am also certain that this passage is not a metaphor. I'm afraid I may be unable to make that tight fit in the end.
