The '''Matthew Effect''' is a sociological phenomena referring to Christ's commandment that "For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away." (Matthew 25:29)  This is an example of [[biblical scientific foreknowledge]], foretelling [[conservative]] [[libertarian]] [[economics]] over 2000 years ago.  This scriptural commandment was used by [[Glenn Beck]] to justify eliminating [[progressive taxation]] in the [[United States]] (see [[tea party]]), and was quoted by [[liberal]] [[atheists]] as a reason for the poverty gap.
