Christ really has a tight immigration policy regarding the kingdom of God. He really has a strong distaste for rich people, making it next to impossible for them to enter.

David Bentley Hart has translated the New Testament as a published work. It includes his notes which indicate he believes wealth to be bad. Also, he teaches this in lectures.

All the wealth, tax free, that mega churches have?

I believe that is what happens when you generalize. There was a veterans organization that was running a racket so it isn't simply because churches exist that rackets exist. Also not all churches run rackets. The more money they get the more God requires of them. If they aren't doing it, that is between God and them.
