He probably didn't want to get crucified for encouraging tax evasion.

Duh, because in the Bible he was crucified for blasphemy so if he ended up crucified for tax evasion the whole story would have fallen apart.

Didn't stop fundamentalists from retroactivity trying to create links of "prophecy" all throughout the OT for shit that wasn't even remotely related or intended as such.

They'd just have claimed he wasn't killed for tax evasion, no problems there for the fundies.
