Turns out Caesar is taking what isn’t Caesar’s, something that belongs to YOU. This means Caesar is the one violating Jesus’ command with income taxation. Jesus’ words mean the opposite of what people think. Gotta sit in the context to see Jesus’ brilliance in that conversation with the blue checkmarks of his day.

Tax day is a systemic injustice that should be abolished. It makes us victims of evil and possibly culpable of a great many more.
