"So, you're either rich or poor? There's no middle? So why lament the alleged loss of the necessarily non-existent middle class?"

I don't think the poor will go to heaven, personally.

Or the rich.

Or the humble. Or sinners. Or righteous.

So it's an outrage about somebody that nobody thinks is right, because he says something that they don't believe is true but which, given their understanding of what he *should* believe, fails to live up to his attributed values.
