I wonder what St. Matthew (Levi) and Zacchaeus (Zakkai?) would say about tax collectors nowadays.
They were both tax collectors, who were generally hated.
Levi left his post immediately to follow Jesus; Zakkai repented publicly, and Jesus dined at his house.

When you consider how much taxes we pay here in the UK I doubt that Matthew or Zacchaeus' comments can be repeated here!

And just think...we are about to get lots more of them thanks to Obamacare. What we all love to see - expansion of the IRS.
