The Top 1% owns more than half of all the wealth in U.S. companies. They own $35 trillion in assets. https://t.co/1QAR0Kt38c— Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) November 9, 2019
So it's a little early to go full "Magnificat" on Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg and Jamie Dimon, and their ilk.
But still, I like the sentiment:
My soul extols the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has shown consideration for the lowly stature of his slave. As a consequence, from now on every generation will congratulate me; the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name, and his mercy will come to generation after generation of those who fear him. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has put the arrogant to rout, along with their private schemes; he has pulled the mighty down from their thrones, and exalted the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has come to the aid of his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he spoke to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever. (Luke 1:46-56, SV)
20 centuries later, that's still hardcore radical stuff.
