I do indeed. And I know that prior to the Revolution, the Catholic church in France had a right to 10% of every farmers crop,,, period.

Do you believe France would be better off had they kept their absolute monarchy?

Do you believe the way they went about abolishing their monarchy was anything other than purely evil?

And after it the State had a right to 100% of it. Here in the US the Government has a “right” to damned near 50%. I’d be thrilled if some entity only demanded 10% and no more.
