Tea Party people.

The shirt says "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torment. Luke 16:23. (Don't let it be you.)" I had trouble reading the numbers on the Biblical cite and at first saw that 16 as 18. I looked it up:

And a ruler asked him, ?Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?? And Jesus said to him, ?Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: ?Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.?? And he said, ?All these I have kept from my youth.? When Jesus heard this, he said to him, ?One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.? But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

I thought, wow, that is not the right Biblical citation for the Tea Party!
