"If it's that difficult for a rich man to get into heaven, think how terrible it must be for a poor man to get in. He doesn't even have a bribe for the gatekeeper." Reverend Ike
--------------------------
For some undefined reason, many people will not be so kind to Donald Trump if the economy goes down? He inherited a very good economy. The recovery from the "Great Recession" has lasted about ten years plus.
But now there are rumblings. The "R" word (Recession) has been bandied about. Nothing gets the attention of the American voter like the loss of a job and/or benefits. So, it will not be good for anyone, including Donald Trump, if the economy goes downward. We have not had good guidance of our economy.
Someone once said, "You can drop a dime on a busy corner of NYC and heads will turn for a block." I don't know if that is true? I rather doubt it.
Also, Reverend Ike used to say, when they passed the contribution platter, that he did not want to hear the sound of loose change... he only wanted to hear the crinkle of green money...paraphrasing.

I think Rev. Billy's "Church of Stop-Shopping" is modeled after Ike.

You can't lose with the stuff I use!"; "Some may say money is the root of all evil, but being in poverty is a damn shame!"; "The best thing you can do for the poor is not be one of them"; "God doesn't want you to have your pie-in-the-sky, by and by, when you die. He wants you to have it now with a cherry on top!"; and "If it's that difficult for a rich man to get into heaven, think how terrible it must be for a poor man to get in. He doesn't even have a bribe for the gatekeeper!
