I don't care who, what or how much the rich have. The fundamental complaint derives from basic-needs inequities and distribution/consolidation of wealth.
In your fantasy set-up the former problem is (somehow) solved.

Obviously not - they need to pay taxes like the rest of us.

The impoverished are often found to be in that condition because they make poor choices with money.
Scripture tells us that the poor shall always be with us.

Not enough information about this yet to be invented economic system. When you say "keep all their money" what imaginary utopia is this where there are no taxes?

It matters more to you (and ex) that millionaires are taxed than that the impoverished will be empowered financially :doh:
:nono:
Okay, let's say everyone above the poverty level pays the same percentage of taxes every year. That means there will still be millionaires and billionaires among us. Would you support this? I'm trying to find out just how deep most liberals are infected with the sin of envy.

Okay then yes. When you said "all their money" you weren't clear in what that meant.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.
Then what is your solution to poverty?
That's because parsimonious conservatives such as yourself tend to be petty thus, expect a reciprocal reaction from others.
[JESUS]For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.[/JESUS] - Mark 14:7 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...7&version=NKJV

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. - 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...2&version=NKJV

There is no solution. Accept it as an inevitability. Protect the weak and innocent and vulnerable.
Protect them how?
Then it's your Christian duty to offer them a slice of bread from your overflowing pantry.

I just wonder - do you go on Muslim sites and tell them what their scripture demands of them?
Buddhist sites?
Hindu sites?
Shinto sites?
Who are "libs"? What do you need to think or do to qualify as one? do you expect them all to have identical ideas?
