You're absolutely right. Neither ticket. I see Jesus as more of a Ghandi figure if he lived in the American Landscape.
And I fully believe Jesus would be all for taxing the wealthy to benefit the poor.
Either that or go around and just strip the rich of their wealth. Jesus militantly against anyone who wished to retain or gain monetary wealth.
It can't be much simpler than "It is easer for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Luke 18:25)
Jesus would have no problem seizing wealth from those unwilling to give it.
