Once upon a time there was a king who was governing a big country. His expenses were more than his earnings so his chess queen advised him to earn more taxes from the people. But the king was afraid of people's riot through this change and his chess queen wasn't agree,so they decided to do an exercise and by result of it choose the best way of earning money:
At first step the king ratified a rule that each person who wants to pass city gates should pay 1 coin, nobody commented. Then he increased the price to 2,3,4 and 10 coins but still people continue on paying coins for nothing !!!
Then they passed another rule. Each person who wants to pass the gates should be raped by the soldiers !!!!!!!!!!!!! Again surprisingly nobody commented and they continue passing the gates with the new rule.
One day a man came to the king for asking a question. The king was sure that his cruel rules has made this man angry and he is here to fight him but his demand was unbelievable. He said because the number of the soldiers who are raping people at the gates are not enough and this has caused long queues behind the gates so he was asking the KIND king to increase number of those soldiers and save their time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After his leaving the king thanks his chess queen for the wise advice and increased the taxes as much as he wished.
I was just thinking about the situation of my country and I saw that how true this myth is!!! What do you think?
