But the fact remains, that if Jesus had been opposed to the government helping the poor, he'd have said so. Jesus had a tendency to be very clear about things he disapproved of (I can think of a few moneylenders with some stories to tell.) But oddly, he never said a word against helping the poor, be it by private funds or public.

(He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people,)
There’s nothing fallacious about it. If Jesus disapproved of something, he said so. That Jesus would disapprove of the government taking from the rich and giving to the poor is laughable.
