If we make sure the wealthy have plenty of tax breaks and raise the rent of the low income, are we telling Jesus that those He wants us to protect on His behalf don't matter?

If we make sure the wealthy have plenty of tax breaks and raise the rent of the low income, are we telling Jesus that those He wants us to protect on His behalf don't matter?

In the Bible it says:
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? James 2:1-6

In my opinion, it doesn't sound like Jesus likes us giving preferential treatment to the rich.  Note: Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He hath promised to them that love Him? But ye have despised the poor. Further more Jesus says through the Bible: If you fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. James 2:8-9
