Can you point to a reference? I don't think you are recalling the story correctly.
They were money changers (currency exchange) and merchants, not a single tax collector.
Jesus cleansed the temple twice, it wasn't a single event.
Matthew was a tax collector, one of his key disciples. Jesus was also compassionate towards Zaccheus, who was a wealthy tax collector. Zaccheus was wise enough to repent from his over-taxing of citizens, however.

I did not realize He did it twice! Did He use a whip both times?
I like to imagine he used an AK47.
The same one he and Santa used to then fight the Romans.
Translation: In this moment I am euphoric ...
The whip is only present in the John account, I think. The Wiki page is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple
