he did have a problem with tax collectors using their power to line their own pockets. Considering how much of our taxes goes to line the pockets of government workers and the porkified friends of our elected officials, it shouldn't be to hard to believe that Jesus or any holy prophet would complain.
A bigger point we should keep in mind with this speculation is that we don't know what Jesus would do if he got to vote, and we do know that his ministry is not really a ministry of government, and that distorting Jesus for our own political purposes might land us in a burning hell for all eternity.
