Why wouldn't a Christian theocracy tax the rich and give it all to the poor?

And it is harder for a rich man to go to heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle, so why wouldn't anyone who thought they might be getting rich be eager to get rid of the extra money?

Joseph Edward Strickland is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. Since his consecration on November 28, 2012, he has been the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tyler, Texas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Strickland

The majority of Catholic voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016. According to recent polls, he's lost some of his Catholic support. It appears that Bishop Strickland isn't happy with that state of affairs.

A country with so much wealth concentrated in the hands of so few and that can't feed and house its own citizens really seems to have a lot of hard things said and done against it by God, according to the Bible. Jesus had a lot of hard things to say to those who tithed their pinch of spice in conformance with their version of morality while neglecting the weightier matters of the law.

Mene mene tekel upharsin, Bishop.
