A bit of English history.

Hey you tax-lovers!
Do you know the story about Wat Tyler and Richard II?
That thug Walter was against taxes, horror! And he made that mess (f*ng terrorist). But Wise King Richard knew taxes are for Common Good, Social Justice, Law and Order…so he was right saying “(serfs) ye are, (serfs) ye shall remain”
Do you agree?

I might be doing some mushrooms tonight, and if I do I'll read your post again to see if I can make more sense out of it...

Yes I know who Wat Tyler was.
AFAIK he was against unfair taxes. He certainly wasn't a free market libetarian. :rolleyes:

So we're talking about feudal England now?

Something to do with taxes I think :eek2:

I don't see what feudal England has to do with taxes.
