Jeff and Scott talk about two taxes levied at the Hoopes household, the "floor tax", and the "toilet tax." These two taxes demonstrate how the tax system can be used as either a carrot or a stick, and the benefit of each approach, and the importance of administrative costs (which made the toilet tax impractical). We also discus how, and whether, taxes can be used to solve social problems. Scott vows to do better in taxing the subjects of his kingdom.
