Tyrannical government is punishment from God.
Taxes
The publicans of ancient Rome occupied a solid position among the classes despised most by the people. They were notorious for extortion, since they all had quotas to meet and would often take the short route and meet them dishonestly. The more dishonest publicans worked partly for the government and mostly to line their own pockets. In any case, they were seen as traitors much as people today see IRS agents as traitors, working against the working man for the sake of a tyrannical government.
