So? That's still clear respect for the state. It doesn't say "I don't believe in the state, but kid you should probably still pay taxes to stay out of jail".
The debate, which I won't go into here because Im on a phone and not nearly familiar enough with Koine Greek, is whether that was something added decades later by the government or whetjer the person asking Jesus that question was trying to entrap him. I suspect it us the former myself.
There's no debate since the church sees the bible as canon. The whole point is moot, since either the bible is canon, or the whole thing is garbage (I lean the latter).
