      I'm satisfied with my baseless position.

          Most accountants make no such claims. Economists on the other hand do claim an understanding of economics that they just don't have.

                By the last days of the French monarchy, the aristocracy paid no taxes. Rather, taxes were laid almost exclusively on the burgeouise and the farmers. Lavish government spending led to staggering deficits.

                When bad weather hit, the farmers couldn't pay their taxes. Three quarters of the Normandie farmers ended up landless; and this problems was seen across the entire country (albeit not as bad). Out-of-work farm workers flooded into the city. The price of bread skyrocketed until the cost of feeding a family exceeded the income of most city dwellers.

                Presto: The French Revolution.
