I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

All your armies are useless in the face of a pack of IRS agents.

Yeah, but who would win between the IRS and roman tax collectors?  REMEMBER:  Roman tax collectors gathered gold.  The IRS gathers worthless federal reserve notes!

The mall cops would win with the awesomeness of their tactical Segways.

IRS agents are faceless, humorless, soul-less beings. They carry giant manuals and will regulate anyone in thier path into submission with obscure tax code references.  Roman Tax Collectors are no match.

I don't know. Roman tax collectors got to keep any excess they collected. They had incentive to be ruthless.

Ruthless vs. soulless is a hard fight.

I bet Roman tax collectors traveled with soldiers though.
