Tax collector? The tax was the (very unpopular) excise, and Burns wrote the poem "The Deil's Awa wi the Excise Man": https://www.scotslanguage.com/articles/node/id/420 . I suppose that the modern equivalent would be holding down a job in academia and writing op-ed articles about how terrible it is for the country. But you can't sing an op-ed. |
