Outside Stairs

The business of taxes, the government, and the citizen has been a game for a very long time. In plantation times, the government taxed people on the number of rooms in their home. Closets were considered a room.........so people quit building closets and put their clothes in an armoire. The government taxed people on the number of outside doors that people had in their home.......so people made use of long windows as places of entry and kept outside doors to a minimum. The government taxed people on the number of stairways that they had in their house......so people quit building stairways inside the house and built them on the outside of the house (see photo).

Guess the game is still going on.............heck of a way to run a railroad!!!
