That in the golden age of Pericles only the rich were taxed and they paid the ticket of the poorest for theater and entertainment? Did you know that those who embezzled public money were punished by confiscation of their property? Did you know that the first haircut, i.e. debt haircut, was done two and a half thousand years ago by the famous legislator Solon? Did you know that the solidarity tax has its roots in Byzantine taxation and that it was paid only by the haves and possessors? That in medieval Byzantium everything was taxed, from the smoke that came out of the chimneys to the air that the subjects breathed? Do you know what the expression "your mind and a pound and the painter's hammer" means? This and many others resulted from the heavy taxation of the Ottomans. Professors, folklorists and other scientists, talk about imaginative, cruel, timeless taxes and the reactions of our tax-paying ancestors, in the Time Machine, with Christos Vassilopoulos.
