Big Tax Authoritarians don't every teach this 150+ year travesty in public school:

A 'window tax' was first introduced in 1696. It was a tax on light and air; and despite its unpopularity, it was not abolished until 1851. Because houses with more than a certain number of windows were liable to be taxed, house owners often, reluctantly, blocked up windows, and there was a tendency to include fewer windows when new houses were built. Reproduced here is a petition requesting that ministers of the Church of Scotland be exempted from paying the tax, together with the Treasury's reply refusing to grant exemption.
