Why were bourgeois upset before the french revolution?

In pre-revolution France, the bourgeois class was dissatisfied because it was relegated to the Third Estate, which included about 96% of the country's population but in the government body, the Estates General, could be outvoted by the First (clergy) and Second (nobility) Estates. These two Estates could (and did) vote themselves exempt from taxes. This was a serious issue at the time because France had accumulated massive war debts from the Seven Years' War and subsidizing the American Revolution. In 1789, 50% of the national budget was spent servicing France's national debt (compare this to 5% paid in 2009 to service American national debt). The bourgeoisie were determined to get the other two estates to pay a share. When Louis XVI called a convocation of the Estates General, the Third Estate arrived asserting it was the true representative of the country and that votes should be counted according to number of delegates. The Third Estate was barred from the chamber, setting in motion a series of events that would result in the violent overthrow not only of Louis, but of the power and privileges of the first two estates.
