What would Jesus think about cutting taxes for the rich?

In the Gospel of Matthew, a rich young man asks Jesus what actions bring eternal life. First Jesus advises the man to obey the commandments. When the man responds that he already observes them, Jesus adds:

If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.".

The Gospel of Luke has a similar episode:

When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Jesus said this to the Pharisees about taxes:

Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 

Rightardia thinks that Jesus would want the Bush tax cuts to expire. Jesus was never a big fan of the 'have mores.'
