"I don't believe in a stimulus check because if $600 or $1,400 changes your life you were pretty much screwed already," Ramsey said. "You got other issues going on."
High on the hog
Evangelical prosperity gospel preaching Dave Ramsey made the above statement on Fox Pravda. Ramsey is reported in a variety of places to have a net worth of between $50 and $200 million. He lives on the top of a hill in a $5 million dollar mansion. Like a lot of other Evangelicals Ramsey lives high on the hog. For the Christian elite like Ramses the 40 million people living in poverty in this country have “…other issues going on.”
At least one issue for sure is those like Ramses.
Obviously Jesus had it wrong when he told the young rich guy to sell all his stuff. Well, nobody ever said that Jesus was good with money. Ramsey could have taught Jesus a thing or two. But in defense of Jesus he did have other issues going on.
Ramses to Jesus: giving money to desperate people for food and shelter only encourages them to be lazy.
Other issues?
Like earning a wage that doesn’t pay for the barest of living expenses.
Like no health insurance.
Like living in the wrong place in the wrong time.
Like no access to birth control or family planning.
Like too much wealth concentrated with people like Ramsey.
Like a pandemic?
Oh that’s right, Ramsey the seer is also a Covid denier. It’s a hoax. 500,000 Covid deaths are all about the hype. He kept employees working even if they tested positive for having Covid. Back in December of 2020 Ramsey held a maskless Christmas party attended by an estimated 1,000 people at his HQ. Guests were provided maps directing them to the open bars and pop up casino. Vendor workers were encouraged not to wear masks so as not to upset guests. Nothing upsets Evangelicals’ guests like somebody trying to keep them from harming themselves or others.
Those like Ramses that live to keep adding to their wealth pile….
Have got other issues going on.
