taxes used to fund government expenditure. Rates varied widely from one region to another, often bore little or no relation to the amounts set out in official decrees, and were collected inconsistently. It was the complexity as much as the financial burden that caused resentment; complaints from the nobility were not affected by paying significantly less than other classes. Attempts to make the system more transparent were blocked by the regional Parlements which controlled financial policy. The resulting impasse in the face of widespread economic distress led to the calling of the Estates-General, which became radicalised by the struggle for control of public finances.
Although not indifferent to the crisis and willing to consider reforms, Louis XVI often backed down when faced with opposition from conservative elements within the nobility. As a result, the court became the target of popular anger, particularly Queen Marie-Antoinette, who was viewed as a spendthrift Austrian spy, and blamed for the dismissal of 'progressive' ministers like Jacques Necker. For their opponents, Enlightenment ideas on equality and democracy provided an intellectual framework for dealing with these issues, while the American Revolution was seen as confirmation of their practical application.

Get the Sexmug. When a man shoves his erect penis into a woman’s wet pussy. Can also be man and man, woman and woman, or more
Melody came home and found her sexy roommate jax watching tv in his boxers. Her pussy began throbbing wanting his cock inside her. He walks over and shoves her onto the couch, climbing ontop of her saying “I’m so horny right now melody. I’m gonna fuck your tight little pussy with all 12 inches of my thick, veiny cock.” He whips out his massive penis and RIPS her pants open pulling off her panties. He begins rubbing his cock head on her pussy to tease her. Eventually she moaned “please daddy jax. Please pound my pussy hard. Destroy it.” Shoving his massive cock inside her, he begins shallow-fucking her with his first 6inches. “DEEPER JAX. FUCK ME DEEPER!” She screams. Finally he shoves all 12 inches inside her and reaches her g-spot, pounding against it. After 3 minutes of railing her g-spot they both orgasm together. Jax’s hot sticky cum squirting inside her. And melody’s gloopy cum/pussy juice squirts all over jax’s dick.
