Why is the story of the “Tax-free Farm” as told by Aristotle an ironic lesson about democracy?
a) The dictator Pisistratos suppressed democracy but rewarded individual speech by declaring the complaining farmer free of taxes. b) The farmer earned tax-free status after election to the Council of Five Hundred by voting against the 10 percent tax imposed by Pisistratos. c) The farmer gained voting rights by owning land, but could not produce a crop from the stony ground, and therefore earned no taxable income. d) Under Pisistratos’ rule, farmers gained voting rights and seats on the governing Council, but had to forfeit 10 percent of what they produced to pay for those rights; therefore, the farmer too poor to pay cannot vote, but is “tax-free”.
