Mark 2:16–17:

When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him [Jesus] eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Based Jesus. Taxation is evil.
