Biblical days of old, it was considered ungodly and wicked not to pay your debts. Results were severe when you defaulted or failed to pay your taxes. When you failed to pay your tax, the tax collector had authority to garnish and seize. This included crops, property and livestock. These items you grown to support your family and sell to support your livelihood. In addition, you and members of your household could become servants to your creditors. Consequently, your sentencing may include servitude to your creditor and/or imprisonment. It was common to be tormented by guards daily for your neglect to pay your debt(s). With the exception of physical abuse, not so off the beaten path with the IRS today, tormenting taxpayers through threatening letters of federal tax lien filing at your district court and garnishment of your employment income/wages.
The collection of taxes has evolved in time with changes in government, culture and technology. Methods became more civil and lenient for tax debtors/borrowers. Lenders on the other hand have become more sophisticated in the course of their lending practices.
Enforcement of tax collection some will say is just as barbaric (penalizing, uncaring, senseless, unforgiving) today as it was during the ancient times.
