If you look at the story of the story of Joseph and his rise to becoming the viceroy of Egypt you will see that he suggests a 20% tax on crops. This was an actual lowering of the tax there at that time.
And I believe that "tax" was only during a time of record setting crop growth, not during the lean years. :)
Correct. It was imposed during those good years in preparation for the bad times.
