Charles The Bald 1808 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) One day, while spying on the king, Charles overheard a conversation between the tax collector and the king. They were discussing a new tax law that would increase the taxes on food and medicine, which would make it impossible for the poor to survive. Charles was furious, and he knew he had to act fast. He made his way to the tax office, where he used his mining skills to create a hidden entrance. Once inside, he found the tax boxes and set up a complex system of traps and obstacles to prevent anyone from getting to them. The next day, when the tax office opened, the tax collectors were shocked to find that they couldn't access the tax boxes. They searched the office from top to bottom, but they couldn't find any signs of forced entry. They had no idea what had happened. Meanwhile, word of the blockade began to spread throughout the city. People were thrilled to learn that they didn't have to pay taxes, and they started to see Charles as a hero. As they cheered inside of their souls, they received a letter from The Movement : NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION AGNAR WILL YOU HEAR US ? My fellow dwarves, we are living in some of the toughest times this kingdom has ever seen. The global economy is in shambles, and our once-great nation is struggling to keep its head above water. And as if that weren't enough, we're being hit with massive taxes left and right, making it harder and harder for hardworking dwarves to get by. Can you believe what's going on? Agnar "Sleepy" Ireheart is just going ahead and rewriting the articles and religion of our kingdom without consulting anyone. That's not right, folks. We deserve to have a say in how our kingdom is run. It's time to stand up and speak out! This is just plain wrong. We can't let this sleeping tyrant take away our rights and freedoms. We need to band together and take a stand against this injustice. The Movement is doing just that, folks. We have blocked every tax box in the tax office, and let me tell you, I did it myself. We can't let this unfair taxation burden us hardworking dwarves any longer. That's why today, we're declaring a tax-free holiday. We need to come together and support each other, especially in light of recent attacks on our cities. We need to show our resilience in the face of adversity. So let's unite and show the Grand Kingdom of Urguan that we won't back down to their corruption and fraud. And let's savor this tax-free holiday, because we deserve it, folks. Together, we can make a change and put an end to this unjust taxation once and for all !

Legoboy7984 2448 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The Grand King lofts a brow. What are you on now? You do know that it was announced and a committee is made for the rewrites. And there is a lot of clan representation in it, yes? Lastly, what is this tax raise you're speaking of as there has been no such discussion. Didn't know a nation leader is a tyrant for there being taxes on housing. Guess you can say, how dare any nation leader tax houses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
