Allocation of resources should be left to experts, not the rich or poor.

What makes you think these experts won't have any personal stake in how these resources are used? Poor people are expert enough to know what their needs are. Indeed they are painfully aware. The problem is they don't have the resources they need.

If one is of God's elect, then would not God foreshadow their heavenly destiny by giving them a foretaste of reward? And so prosperity is indicative of likely election. To give the poor any sense of prosperity would be to cruelly give them hope of escaping eternal damnation.
