Tax Collectors...
I think I have found the modern day equivalent to tax collectors. The Jews hated tax collectors, because they were Jews that were working for Caesar and giving the Jews money to Caesar. The best I can think to be equivalent to these tax collectors is the students who work for UA Parking & Transit. You know the ones I mean--walking through the parking deck, assigning tickets to people who didn't pay the meter. These are students collecting for "The Man." I have to believe that these students also run late to class and would love to park in the ever-convenient deck but lack the monetary funds necessary. I always feel a little back-stabbed when I see a fellow student writing a ticket to someone's car. On a side note, I never get tickets in the deck. I park there 3-5 days a week. I never pay. I have a handful of tickets from the past few years.

I remember having the same epiphany a while back, though I'd forgotten it recently. Also, I commented on the poem below.
They must have read this, because I got a ticket yesterday.
