<br> I happened to be up late last night and turned on the TV to keep me company as I sewed. Bill Moyer was on talking about the desperate economic situation in America regarding the distribution of wealth. His guest was Joseph Hough, president of Union Theological Seminary who is making a big stir and calling on what he describes as the "Abrahamic heritage" consisting of Jews, Christians and Muslims, to protest to their elected officials that more of the wealth should be spread to the needy. He states that an ever greater divide is continuing to grow between the richest people in America and the poor. He says that this is an extremely unethical and immoral direction for society to be taking. That the rich buy their way into economic increase by very large contributions to the politicians who then make and enforce laws which allow the rich to keep and increase their money., while holding back the poor and middle classes, by taxation and not taking care of the poor and needy. According to Hough the fact that corporations are paying workers less than poverty wages while increasing profits, signals a falling away from the Biblical practice of giving to the poor and taking care of the needy and it is time for "all"<br> of the "Abrahamic heritage" to do something about it!<br><br> Does anyone have any thoughts on this?<br><br> In His Hands, <br><br>Ruth
