The French tax code in use at the time gave a tax free status to nobles and to the Catholic clergy. The Catholic Church owned about 10% of all of the land and all of the wealth in France. They levied a tithe on all members of the Third Estate on top of the taxes that were paid. The taxes on the working class were continuing to rise and the Third Estate had no political power to end this injustice.
