The River of Gold Tony Milne

For many years, the best place for taxation was by a navigable waterway. The first source of wealth, riverside locations became the capitals of tax territories, then of tax empires. Navigable rivers and sea-lanes were essential elements in the development of the Greek and Roman, the Danish and British, the French and Chinese empires. Until now, the importance of rivers as the primary source of tax revenues lay hidden beneath a tax taboo. This book uncovers startling truths behind the Trojan War and the Ring of the Nibelung. Most surprisingly, it reveals the true purpose of bridges. Deserts and mountains provide good traps for taxation, and these tax locations also became the centres of tax territories. Today, the greatest value of goods is transmitted as electrons or photons, and the future empires will belong to the tax-collector who learns to attack that river of gold connectors. The River of Gold is part of the author's work in establishing a theory of human evolution based on taxation. He proposes that the murderous mammalian instinct to murder or exclude a strange male was replaced by a simple taxation of homage, a 10% contribution and help in improvement. The full story is contained in The Tax Man, available soon.
