Target Character Last Name's Five Percent Tax
When the Taille was originally instituted, it replaced an ancient feudal taxation system used by the Country. However, as time has pass, old special privileges granted to the Clergy and Nobility have begun to prove inefficient in the greater taxation system of the state.
Target Character, a member of the Country Adjective administration, has offered a proposal to redefine the Taille, to include a 5 percent tax on the general land tax, that would be expanded to include the Nobility and Clergy. While the proposal would prove beneficial for the state's finances, the Clergy and Nobility have already voiced fierce opposition.

1067historical_info = flavor_fra.16.historical_info When Jean-Baptiste de Machault became controller-general of the finances in France in December 1745, he found the country on the verge of bankruptcy. Neither the nobles nor the clergy were paying the general land tax, the Taille. In 1749, Machault tried to reform the system by proposing to substitute the old tax of a tenth, which many of the clergy and the nobility evaded, with a five percent tax without exceptions. The proposal was met by such loud protests that Machault was unable to see it through.
