The problem with suggesting the poor (or any other "class") are auto-preserved and ushered into heaven is: all poor people do not go to heaven. That is a dangerous teaching. There are plenty of evil lower income sinners who rape, pillage, steal and murder just like middle class folks and CEO's. In fact, I can show you any number of "poor folks" here in my town who will be happy to steal your car at gun point, molest your children and take all your money so they won't be "poor" any longer.
Hell is not populated only with rich folks, and being "poor" does not get you a pass to heaven. God is no respector of persons, and He will preserve ANYONE who trusts in Christ, not just the poor. (Col. 3: 25, I Thes. 5:23, 24)

First.... I never said the poor where "auto-preserve"d.
They do exist throughout all generations. Don't you not think they are? This is their preservation.
Christ said....
Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
God has preserved that the poor will be in all generations. Just like He has preserved the heavens, the oceans, and etc...
