Haha - sorry read it and then got to your comment Jenny!

Anyways I'm a techo that just happens to work for a bank! (or at least that's what I tell myself)

I'm worried about line 12

They wouldn't tax coats that didn't have any buttons on it Alan.

Yes the Bards and Lords all taxed their serfs or forced them into a submissive living style trapped with minimal food and wages and gave them a roof over their heads... and a job... the Romans taxed heavily, I'm sure the Ancient Chinese did too!
