Matthew 22: 17-21
Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
The advice from Jesus on how his followers should relate to the government can be summarized as: pay your taxes. Paul echoes this in his Epistle to the Romans.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
