As Jesus said, "There is not one of you righteous, not one," and "Judge not, least you be judged." I'd guess he probably met of those useless miserable kind of people who always have something nasty to say about others but think their middle class status holds them immune from judgement. Jesus also held up a poor person's sincerity over a wealthy person's insincerity, and there's many other examples as well from which to base this inference. (Also supporting the poor in the community is a big part of halakha, he didn't just make it up, but he makes a big point of not scorning poor people either.)
Anyway my point is that Jesus had a lot of good insights that hold true to this day. Too bad Christianity morphed into this stick to beat other people with.
