He was against those vipers doing business in the temple, simple as that.
But your opinion isn't too far-fetched.

They were money changing temples. To buy anything to sacrifice, a dove usually, they had to face outrageous currency conversion rates to the temple currency. What outraged Jesus was those fees which were worse than usury in his "father's house." The unfairness was about the same thing the protestants objected concerning money for indulgences. You can see it was not banking, but currency exchange for "salvation," and an event where they would profit tremendously while abusing those of sincere faith. "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth
And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address
Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:
"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |
