His finance ministers, because Louis XVI knew that the poorest people paid the most taxes, while the rich members of the nobility and the church did not pay anything. He wanted to lower the taxes for the poorerst people and make the members of the nobility and the church pay taxes, but everytime his finance ministers proposed this plan to the parlement, the Parisian court rebelled.

He needed public opinion on his side and he needed the parlement of Paris to enforce his laws.

Why were the French peasant so heavily taxed?
That was because Louis XV tried to eliminate the huge amount of debt. When he died, Louis XVI kept these taxes high, because he inherited a more than empty treasury with a debt over 400 million francs. This eventually caused France to go bankrupt.Also, the French members of the nobility and clergy never had to pay taxes, even though they were the richest. Louis XVI tried to change this, but was criticized so heavily on this idea, that the assembly prohibited him to tax the nobility and clergy.
What did Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette do to provoke the war?
They did not provoke a war. The revolution was started a long time before Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were even born. It all started with Louis XIV, the great grandfather of Louis XVI. He had built Versailles and spent millions on staff, causing a gigantic debt in the treasury. When his successor Louis XV became King (he was then 5!), he didn't know how to solve all the debt, so he started raising taxes. Conveniently enough, the clergy and nobility were cleared from taxes, although they were the richest people. To make matters worse, Louis XV declared war to several countries, while there was absolutely no money to pay for it. By the time Louis XVI succeeded him, France was bankrupt and was actually declared so in 1789. Louis XVI had desperately tried to clear the debt, but did not see any other solution to do so then to raise taxes, even though the French bourgeoisie was starving. He tried to make the nobility and clergy also pay taxes, but they became furious at him when they heard of his plans and prohibited him the execution of these plans. So, this King who so desperately wanted to solve the financial mess the country was in, found himself with his back against the wall and did not know what to do. Everybody wanted it to be solved, but nobody (of the nobility and clergy) were willing to give up some of their priviliges to do so. Instead, they blamed everything on Louis XVI and especially his wife Marie Antoinette.

What was a negative effect from King Louis XIV?
He had spent so much money that his successor (Louis XV) inherited a 400 million livres debt. Louis XV tried to fix this by making the French pay high taxes. He excluded the clergy and nobility from paying taxes though. He did not manage to have the debt payed off, so when Louis XVI succeeded him, France was as good as bankrupt, and was declared so in 1788, one year before the revolution broke out.
