The "tax man" may actually represent the will of more individuals in your scenario, but those that are fighting against him are far more rich and powerful. When the rich and powerful unite against the tax man and the "proletariat", they always win. So, when you say "people fight against taxes", we should clarify what people we are talking about. Plenty of people supported the collectivist movements of the era, and they are also people.
