Would he have joined a union?

I sure like the idea of redistributing the wealth. In America. Maybe in the entire world. Spread it around. So the 'haves' have a little less and the 'have-nots' have a little more. Seems the right thing to do. I always thought that this guy Jesus was advocating something like that. Like he was some kind of socialist. He went out preaching that it'd be mighty difficult for a monetarily rich man to find his way into the kingdom. Seems to me that Jesus never had a desire to accumulate material wealth. That he preferred something a bit more spiritual. I couldn't see him as a Wall Street trader. Or a big corporate executive waiting for his big year's end bonus. He seemed more like a common man. A carpenter by trade. I wonder if he would have joined a union. --Jim Broede
