“Slaves under the Pharaoh in ancient Egypt were required to give him 20% of their income.
Fast-forward to 2025: the average U.S. taxpayer hands over 24.8% in federal taxes alone.
And that’s before sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and a long list of additional levies.
By comparison, the Pharaoh taxed his slaves less than modern governments tax their citizens.”
