Christ said to give Caesar what was his. And he didn't say way was Caesar's, or even that Caesar was owed anything, only that what was properly Caesar's should be given to Caesar. The comment doesn't really support any view on taxes. It neatly sidesteps taking political sides. And he never said that people should pay taxes for redistribution, or that it was greedy to not want as much taxes and spending. Also the Roman's had an income tax, and had total tax levels much lower than the levels in the US today.
