Mosiah 1:46 "And even I, myself, have labored with mine own hands that I might serve you, And that ye should not be laden with
taxes, And that there should nothing come upon you which was grievous to be borne; And of all these things which I have spoken, ye yourselves are witnesses this day.
Mosiah 7:9 Yea, and thus were they supported in their laziness and in their idolatry and in their whoredoms by the
taxes which King Noah had put upon his people; Thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity;
Ether 4:48 And it came to pass that Riplakish did not do that which was right in the sight of the Lord, For he did have many wives and concubines, And did lay that upon men's shoulders which was grievous to be borne - yea, he did tax them with heavy
taxes; And with the
taxes he did build many spacious buildings,
Ether 4:49 And he did erect him an exceeding beautiful throne. And he did build many prisons; And whoso would not be subject unto
taxes, he did cast into prison, And whoso was not able to pay
taxes, he did cast into prison;
