Invited by a type of animal called a “human”, “tax” is the the daily fee of living a good life in the human realm. The first known tax was created in Ancient Egypt, a type of human civilization with big structures known as “pyramids”. Before that, the humans lived in peace; contrasting to today, where humans have things called “wars” and lazy people known as “Donald Trumps” who refuse to pay these “taxes”.
