To those who call themselves Christians, myself included: Individuals are called by God to share the wealth, not the government taking away and wasting most in programs that are not great.
1 John 3:17: "But whosoever hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (People not Government.) Psalm 1:1-3 112:1
On wealth, Deut: 8:10: "When thou hast eaten and are full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land he hath given you. Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God in keeping His commandments and His judgments and His statutes which I command you this day."
God doesn't walk away from us, if you don't feel He is close to you, seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him, right beside you and in You as a believer.
Thank Him in good things and bad. The bad should help us grow closer to God ... so we Thank Him in all things as commanded.

Let's study His Word, Trust and Obey God the Father in heaven, who is approachable through Jesus The Christ only. Let no one lead you astray regarding Our Lord God, The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
