    Medieval peasants only had to pay 10% in taxes and got sooooo much free time.

    They also had no access to information or medicine, no human rights, no nutrition, no healthcare of any kind, and only expected to live to the age of 50 if they were lucky. Also “10% taxes” is laughable considering under serfdom peasants were basically considered the property of the landed nobles.
