Zacchaeus was a Jew who was working for the cruel, conquering Roman Empire – like a French collaborator with the Nazis in World War II. Worse, his particular job for the Romans was to collect taxes from his fellow Jews. You know how you feel about the IRS, right? Now imagine that the United States has been invaded and conquered by the naked aggression of a foreign power and now is crushed under the iron yoke and ruthless oppression of Canada – you heard it here first. So now the IRS is collecting taxes for our foreign overlords. Now how do you feel about the IRS, knowing that your taxes are going to pay for orgies in Ottawa? That’s how Jews felt about people like Zacchaeus. And it gets worse.
