Trying to tell / explain to somebody (or even an imaginary someone) what I’ve read or studied. Most good insights or opinions happen at that moment for me.
My son is reading a book about conquerors and came across the portion on taxation, how the conquerors would tax the conquered and send the profits back home. We talk about what he is reading on our daily walks.
He said "there are no more people to conquer, so we tax ourselves"
