Honestly, I think Christ's economic perspective wouldn't jive too well with some folks. Jesus would tell us...we are our brother's keeper.

Remember the parable of the workers in the field? They each recieved what they negociated with the owner for. Some worked for the entire day and some for an hour and each got paid the same.

When the early christians each gave there posessions to the greater cause it was voluntary and not enforced. It was also not for the 'norm' but for a specific need.
