This is NOT historically accurate. Jesus encouraged people to give to the poor, yes, but not by a government program but directly to the individual. In fact, Paul said that "if a man will not work he should not eat." Yet he told them to take care of the poor, the widowed and the orphans. So clearly the people had to know the difference between a man who is unable to work and a man who "will not." That actually gives us the responsibility to know so that we don't reward the lazy. The government can't do that because they are not close enough to the individual. They're just a bunch of politicians who use the poor as an excuse to hike our taxes and waste our money on their pet projects to make themselves rich.

Plus Jesus would not approve of a government dictatorship where the work of one man's hands is taken away to give to another or to be wasted. Putting money in the hands of the government was not what Jesus wanted. He said to pay your taxes because He doesn't approve of law breaking, but the system of Jesus is independent of the government and thrives under freedom and the free market.

In telling us to help the poor Jesus was telling us to choose to help the poor, not to approve of the governemnt controlling the economy and taxing us to spend it on a massive number of wasteful things or redistribute wealth. A socialistic or communistic government removes freedom and personal liberty. Just take a look at history.
