1) Not all rich men are wicked, and not all poor men are rich in spirit. Rather, Jesus reminded us that there is grace for the poor as well, even if they have nothing, they can still have God.Where the rich man is wicked and the poor man is rich in spirit?
Why can't it be the opposite.
Only the rich are righteous and the poor are wicked. God let it the opposite though.
2) I'm not seeing the appeal of all the rich people being righteous and all the poor people being unrighteous. If that were the case, the rich would have a legitimate reason to persecute the poor, because that would literally be justice. The closest society I know of that had something similar is India's, with its caste system and how horribly the Untouchables are treated. They are the poorest of the poor, and have historically been denied the most basic of opportunities for bettering themselves and were/are seen as deserving of it all.
3) I'm not sure what the measure of righteousness would be in either awarding or taking away wealth. I don't know if I would gain or lose money if such a system were to be put in place. There's a good chance that everybody would be poor if it were to be consistently applied, and I don't want more poverty, I want less.
