The parable of the workers in the vineyard, besides being an illustration of heaven, also serves as a defense if freedom of contract. Jesus does not attack the wealthy landowner, he defends the contract that he and the workers agreed to.
It also says to not store treasures on earth, that its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven and also celebrates the widows offering and turns over the tables of the money-lenders in the temple, where they were furthering their business interests in a place of God, all showing up the hypocrisy of greed, one which applies to Capitalists.
