Render to Caesar," folks. (Matthew 22:19-21)You and many others are taking that quote out of context.
When Christ said that, he was pointing out that GOD owned czar, and that everything that czar has is GOD's.
So in other words, czar has no claim to anything, GOD has claim to all.

In Caesar's time the art of avoiding the tax man grew to absurd lengths. A shift from a system of laws to a system of tax collectors has been noted as one of the factors that played a part in the decline of the Roman Empire.

Maybe that is why Caesar got assassinated.

If 'Caesar' said, "Give me 100% of your income," would you render it?
