Jesus never called for government action of any kind. He didn't come to us to eliminate economic inequality. He came to save and convert souls to God.
He called for private charity has a means of conversion of the souls of both the giver and the receiver of charity.
Anyone involved with true charity knows the benefits to the souls of both giver and receiver...the wonderful feeling it is to give...and the wonderful feeling it is to know someone loves you even when you are in need and have nothing to offer in return.
The Left is trying to eliminate the primary means of conversion that Jesus called for, by creating entitlements that end up (i) releasing the giver from giving ("I give by paying taxes."), thereby eliminating the spiritual benefit of giving by making it an obligation, and (ii) removing the spiritual benefit of the gift to the poor, making it an entitlement that they deserve, not something given to them out of love. Their approach hardens society against God while at the same time destroying society with proven techniques from their assorted schools of failed economics.
Side note: When the Left quotes Jesus, they do so to undermine Jesus.
