"It would hardly make sense for [Jesus] to champion the poor by supporting policies that undermine the process of wealth creation . . .."
In other words, Jesus couldn't possibly mean that capitalists should give away all their capital and come follow him.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
-- Luke 13:2f.
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
-- Luke 14:33
