The Pharisees and the scribes literally? No.
Hypocrites and arrogant people who feel that they have the direct line to God because they are educated whereas the regular folk are too stupid to know God...and who put themselves on public display in order to feed their own vanity in the hopes of securing personal glory? Yes.

No, Jesus is not looking down on us but he's hurt to see us behaving like the old Pharisees from the old times.

Yes, they will be changing money in many temples tomorrow. Not all are that way but many, many are. So in a nutshell it's no different now than it was then, except that we are closer to the end of the beginning. That's a soothing thought, the beginning

No doubt. There are many snakes and vipers among us.
And to the boy who said if He even existed---there is scientific proof that He did exist and it has been proven that He rose again. Just read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel.

He looks at the heart and not the outward appearance. So yes, he knows a phony from a true believer.

History does tend to repeat itself. I don't know why, but your question reminded me of the following lyrics:
"I told the preacher, don't count on any second coming. God got his *ss kicked the first time he came down here slumming. He had the balls to fight. The gall to die and then forgive us. Though I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us? "
--Concrete Blonde (Tomorrow Wendy)
Spaghetti logic I guess.

Legalism is a growing cancer on the body of believers.

Yep. Exactly. My dad has something quite similar to that. (My dad's a pretty smart guy, so that's a complement.)
