Government redistribution aiding the least is compatible with Christian patriotism
Evidence
When those in power are made to see and serve the least in society, a nation can play a role in ensuring the flourishing of its people. That is good. That is holy. That aligns with the gospel of Jesus Christ. That is patriotism. There is nothing anti-Christ about the government ensuring that the wealth of the nation benefits all citizens and not just the already wealthy. — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 215
