Matthew Chapter 9 - says a lot about the socialist (communist) political system at the time.
There were many tax collectors and sinners!
Unfortunately when you have too many government bureaucrats living off the sweat of the working man - there soon becomes no further incentive to work. And those who do not have a government job are forced into a life of prostitution or crime to survive.
The crowd was dispirited then, as it is today with our socialist rulers. And whilst the son of God, could provide his people with a plentiful harvest, the society would require a complete restructure to get them incentivised to work again.
The Bible will not speak of socialism and communism, capitalism and liberty as these concepts are relatively modern. But we, in this time, crusading for freedom, must draw upon the parallels and be guided by the deeds of Jesus to come.

The Knight has indeed nailed it!
We see that the government of today aren't working anymore towards the betterment of the masses.
There are no thoughts for industrialization and job creations and this to some extent causes many to digress to the few indecent acts cited above.
So, we see that there is a great need for restructuring in the government of today. As believers and freedom fighters, let's rise and seek the face of God and the good Lord will certainly hearken to our cry.
Thank you @sirknight for this great point you have made.
