There are more poor people in China than rich people. There might be as many as 500,000 poor people for every "rich" person. China, with a population of MORE than one billion people {1,000,000,000}, has a very skewed wealth distribution. Most countries have more poor people than rich. The only way rich people are able to become rich is by suppressing the poor.

Hmmm. That's a toughy. Maybe the rich were richer than the poor

Yes, God doesn't care about how much money you have. If anything it could be easier due to the fact that is written"It is easier for a rich man to enter the eye of a needle, than enter the kingdom of Heaven". But one must be careful not to judge either, or paraphrase the bible out of context. The whole chapter that the phrase is found must be taken into account, anything else leads to a fault in ones position on the subject being discussed.
AnswerThe synoptic gospels say that it is easier for a camel to go throught the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. However, this is missing from John's Gospel, in which many of Jesus' friends were wealthy people. In JohnJesus saved many of his best miracles to help his rich friends. So, if heaven exists, John gives hope that wealthy Christians can go to heaven.
