Jesus would be concerned with the hearts of man. A country is not exactly a heart. He would have had more concerns about how individuals cared for the poor than for how a country did so.

One thing the Democrats don't understand is that part of what Jesus had to say is very difficult. The Democrats measure compassion by the amount of taxes you pay - but paying taxes is easier than actually going out into the community and helping the poor, visiting the sick, doing good works. I tend to think Jesus was much more about the latter than the former.
