It is about that in the surface, sure. But when you look at the context, it's one of many times the pharisees tried to get Jesus to either go against the Roman empire, so they could get him killed for it, or go against God, so they could exile him for it.
Clearly one of us is misunderstanding socialist ideals, because I would say socialists tend to be the ones pushing the hardest for the highest taxes. Please explain why socialists, the community focused people who know no one can stand alone, would be against making sure everyone pitches in to help the poorest people.
You should really actually give the gospels are serious read before making that kind of claim. Not saying you've never read any of the Bible, but I am saying that I don't see a way to have genuinely read the gospels and come to the conclusion of "yeah, Jesus is all about the legalistic religion".
