However there was a time before that peasants, working class, merchants and the middle class united in full force and overthrew the establishment. They were known as the Third Estate and they lived in France in 1789.
And by God I would love to see Guillotines in front of Leinster House, St Stephens Green and the IFSC. | Your solution is a bloody revolution? Quote:
In the month of July, 1789, (the period of everlasting commemoration) the finances of the city of Paris were yet in good order; the expenditure was counterbalanced by the receipt; and she had at that time a million (forty thousand pounds sterling) in bank.
The expenses which she has been constrained to incur, subsequent to the Revolution, amount to 2,500,000 livres. From these expenses, and the great falling off in the product of the free gifts, not only a momentary, but a total, want of money has taken place.
