Rex Doghead, are you really arrogant enough to think that this board will read and care about your story?

HailHail, is that a rhetorical question?

And then the Romans arrived and the Honkydonks who resisted were killed and the Romans enslaved the survivors and taught them how to improve their agriculture and the Romans took half. Wrecks was sent to Rome and died in the coliseum at the hands of the great moonbat wielding gladiator Toothpick.

our story continues...
Freed from the toils of barter, the Hunkydorians soon mastered the transactional advantages of their money, although, to be fair, borrowing and lending would wait for a future time. Their realization that bucks didn't expire upon a sale or purchase meant that the farmer who sold his corn to the toolmaker could purchase a chair from the carpenter who could purchase a shirt from the clothier. Their 80,000 money supply, in fact, ultimately fueled a cyclical economy of 400,000 bucks.
Now, as it turns out, Hunkydorians proved themselves to be an empirical but compassionate people. So while it never occurred to them to include items of non-utility in their economy, such as clerics and churches, they were not averse to providing a basic standard of living to those who by circumstance had nothing to contribute to the supply of products to be consumed.
And thus they agreed to taxation, that a fixed portion of their receipts would be diverted to others without skills, that those others, too, might eat and clothe and shelter themselves. And, inasmuch as a full 20% of citizens were incapable of or contrary to productive contribution, it seemed a matter of simple arithmetic that their fixed tax rate should be 20%. And thus it came to be.
And they were pleased when they had achieved an equilibrium, when all were fed and clothed and housed, when there were no debts, and when there was no growth or shrinkage in their money supply. Thus when the sagacious Rex offered to memorialize their economic activity with a summary inscribed upon a roll of papyrus they were happy and proud to receive it.

Idiots.
They'll need more than 20% so they can administer the payments to the unproductive.

Come on tell me did they ultimately spend 40K more in taxes per dumbass versus what was brought in per dumbass for this utopia?

And that's when I opened the door, got on the floor, and everyone walked the dinosaur. ....

Rex this is some of your better work, please keep the narrative going. At the beginning of the thread just because it was your thread and before reading I downvoted, I have since seen this to be a mistake. Please consider this post a hearty UPVOTE. Thank you.
