Tao Bible - Proverbs 22:16

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
~ King James version ~

He who knows he has enough is rich.
~ from Verse 33 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Here we have a fundamental difference in perspective. For the Christian, the virtue of the rich is called into question in terms of the external. For the Taoist, the virtue of the rich might be called into question based on the internal.
