"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians, Your Christians are so unlike your Christ" - Ghandi

Just a quick thought, how is it that conservative Christians are capitalists rather than socialists? Would Jesus be a CEO, politician or a millionaire? Would Jesus favor the power given to the few greedy men on top of the pyramid? Would Jesus play part in Wall Street? Would Jesus be materialistic and support corporations and technology abuse?
Or would Jesus want all humans to have an equal chance at healthcare? Did Jesus favor the poor? How did Jesus feel about greedy men? How did Jesus feel about compassionless men of power?
I find it interesting that businessmen, rich republicans, conservative Christians preach an American Dream that opposes the views of Jesus himself. I simply find this unbelievable. This proves how brainwashed our nation has become and how religion has been used as a tool by politicians and those on the top rung to manipulate and push their agendas. So tell me, what about capitalism is Christ-like?
