I think it’s another analogy to the kingdom of heaven, rather than a fiscal policy. The economic unfairness is supposed to startle the listener into considering the theological concept.

A little further down I mentioned that even so, it still wouldn’t make sense. We are not all equal in heaven. Some people are more righteous than others. Why should they treated the same? If they’re all treated the same, why should you strive to be better if the minimum is all you need?

I realize Judaism views heaven in a completely different way, but I’m trying to understand this POV.
