While I am on the subject, how dare you infer that Jesus was a beggar, requiring gifts to continue his ministry. There is no evidence of that anywhere in scripture.

No, I inferred no such thing. Joseph was a well-to-do businessman, clearly; but he was a hands-on type rather than your typical “crony” corporate type, with Jesus actively involved in the family trade. Joseph had no problem affording trips from Nazareth to Bethlehem (for the census), or to Jerusalem (for the festivals), or even to Egypt (to escape Herod’s pogrom).
