Serfs general paid between 10 and 30 percent of their harvest to the Manor Baron.
The typical middle class taxpayers easily loses 50% of thier income to taxes today.

He not only buys into a lot of stereotypes about the Middles Ages, but he misses a major point: Medieval Europe WAS CHRISTIAN and America is rapidly dechristianizing.

Career-wise, it was suicidal for, say, a medieval professor of science at the University of Padua to doubt the orthodoxy that the sun revolved around the earth. Are you saying that the sun doesn't revolve around the earth?

Scene from BECKET the Movie: Henry to Becket in a hovel after getting soaked in a rain:
Henry: I’m freezing. Get the fire going.
Becket: - There’ll be no wood in this house.
Henry:- In the middle of the forest?
Becket: These people are entitled to
two measures of deadwood a year.
One branch more, and they hang.
Henry:- My edict?
Becket:- Your edict.

In 21st-century America, we rely on -- but could never again build -- structures such as the Hoover Dam. It's inconceivable that we could build, for instance, a new eight-lane, interstate super freeway system from coast to coast. However, we don't have any problems building huge sports stadiums such as Cowboy Stadium outside Fort Worth, Texas, or Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Medieval mass entertainment -- puppeteering, mimes, jugglers, acrobats -- was far different than the sort of entertainment that troubadours and bards performed for the lords. In our age, think of the gulf between the symphony and reality TV, quiz shows and the NFL. It might also be noteworthy that the sport of jousting has been revived. Renaissance festivals, which now take place in most states, including Alaska and Hawaii, often feature jousts.
