| Summary: | The US congressional shift toward conservative fiscal policies in the last 35 years has widened the gap between the rich and the rest of us. This article takes a close look at the dynamics of bi-partisan politics as well as the relationship between politics and religion, race, class, and education as they apply to the ever widening gap between the US elite and the poor. The article concludes with a call for progressive Christians to organize and collaborate with progressive politicians and reclaim the Bible as authentic social gospel. |
