Jesus condemned the
oppression and marginalization
of his impoverished people by the Romans and other ruling elites who sought through their
unjust system of taxation to extract as much wealth as possible from the majority
of people to benefit the rich, powerful, ruling elites.
A
system of unjust abstraction,
oppression, and legal fraud, by which the most useful classes
of society are drained
of their wealth, and consigned over to eternal toil and never - ending slavery.»
