Where does Jesus say "It is okay for the government to violate my teachings"? Where does he say "I want society to follow these rules, but I want the governments who control society to do the exact opposite."?
He doesn't say that anywhere. But that's not necessary for my point. You keep harping on this idea that if someone advocates for something at an individual level, then it must mean that they'd also advocate for it as policy. It's a big stretch because there's a difference between voluntary giving and involuntary economic policy. It's a false equlivancy.
