The only reason taxes were lower under feudalism is because the serfs had little or no money, Their tax was their labor farming the local noble's land, and serving in his army when he decided to take over the neighboring lord's turf. Think the gangland wars of the ‘20s with swords and arrows instead of guns. And everyone was in the gang whether they wanted to be or not.

So, like TODAY. Little money to ‘the People’, working the “King’s land” (jobs), selective-service (Ukraine+) to placate their ‘shock troops’ via welfare & forced labor (*FREE* h’care/education+)
