I was actually just reading Max Weber today. The radical change in Christianity over time is astounding.

Jesus: "consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin thread"

...I don't think he meant that literally, but he definitely didn't mean, "work as hard as you can so you can give a little to charity yet still anonymously hire tons of people to make you nice things"

[et1337]

That passage is meant to keep you from worrying, not from working. Later on there's this: "Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands."

Christianity was never for the rich:

“Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor” and "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” - Mark 10:21+

They also serve who only stand and wait.
