Thanks for the history lesson and a very hearty laugh, Robert! I am still guffawing as I write this.
Actually, I am a fan of taxes - they make us civilized - well, the reasonable ones do. Seems like there were many unreasonable ones in centuries past. Probably, a few today, too. But, as you say, they don't result in death.
Robert, I appreciate you taking our minds off Covid with this delightful story.
