there are good rich people and rich people who do bad things, he was not perfect as no one is, but he told us the secrets of the rich as only he could know being rich himself.
he made us think, not just follow what the leaders say.
if more people in positions of power and wealth can be like him, it would be a better place.
the bible says its harder for a rich person to get into heaven because of all temptations, and it also says to whom much is given much is asked. i don't think such a judgement is good for the rich and powerful, but i do hope they try to be good on their own without fear and with love.
