Yeshua doesn't make money for the government, He takes it away because if everyone worshipped the one true King, the current selected ones couldn't and wouldn't be.

What did Jesus mean when He said, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s”? Does “Render to Caesar” mean we are supposed to pay taxes?

Rome improved the cities it conquered...
roads,
water
food production
security
public buildings (baths, library, forum, circus)
This was expensive, they levied taxes to pay for it.
However, today, we fund human slave trading, money laundering, and not the betterment of our living conditions.

The Roman empire improving on anything is very subjective. A lot like our current government

Not having to carry water 3 miles on your head, along a dirt road, would, I think be felt as an improvement, to the women I think.
Having access to a library, and a place to bathe in fresh water, toilets that were not stinking holes in the ground...
As I said - if the money is spent to better the community, a tax, or (as Trump wants) a trade levy is not a bad thing.
But, as with everything evil takes over - the resource stops being used for the community, and becomes nothing more than funds for evil...
Evil loves making us pay for our own demise.
We must excommunicate the evil.
