How come God makes poor people suffer, but not the rich?

In fact, Masters throughout the Ages have used religion to keep their subjects in line. 

It has always puzzled me as to how we buy this idea that we shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven and enjoy the riches that God will bestow upon us, but the wealthy enjoy those riches today without having to die to receive them. 

Does this confuse anyone other than me?  God rewards us for suffering, but He will punish those whom He allows to trample us in the Here And Now? 

Are there folks who really believe that God is testing us by allowing us to be blind, or disabled, or poor, while He allows others to live the prosperous life? 

Talk about propaganda!

Worry not my friend, old bossman wants not your soul as he
doesn't even
believe you have one in the first place.

Joe and Frank,

What was the line old Ernie Ford used to sing?

"I owe my Soul to the company store".

Well Frank my old Pea Pickin' Buddy, the boss may get my body,
and I may
pay him lip service in order to pick up my paycheck at the end of
the
week, but he ain't getting my Soul.  Many a slave owner learned
that
lesson the hard way.
