An interesting question....

Can the 90% take care of the 10%?

What a wild idea / notion. Somewhere as the 19th century ended and the 20th century began, the church abdicated it's social responsibility to the government. Up until the end of the 19th century the church was the social / welfare program. 

So, with unemployment expected to reach 10%, my question is: can the 90 take care of the 10. Can you imagine how the world would be turned upside down by a church that lives a radical message? It will be hard to deliver with so much of the budget tied to buildings and infrastructure, but what if the church broke free of it's existing paradigm and became the 90 that looked after the 10.

Impossible. Really?
