Jesus was not advocating for socialism with that quote….nor any other…..not to mention the fact that “the eye of a needle” had different context in those times.

People fail to understand that bible quote. It was not about amount of wealth at all - see Solomon for that debunking - it was about loving money more then God and about opportunity to turn to God, to realize one needed him. Rich people have easier lives then poor people generally, less hardships - less chance of hitting bottom.

Proverbs 10:22,
The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.

Ecclesiastes 5:19
Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.

Jesus never taught we were to give our charity obligations to Caesar.
