In a word, no - because the bourgeoisie were also members of the Third Estate and paid taxes. They and the peasants and the urban proletariat, all resented that the Clergy (First Estate) were exempt from nearly all taxes and the Nobility (second Estate) were exempt from a number of them - both the first two estates having also some powers to collect a certain amount of taxation for themselves.
The feudal system was imposed on serfs (poor farmers) by Princes: the wealthy nobility.
No, there was no advantage to being a peasant. The feudal system was designed to benefit the upper classes, not the lower. People did not choose to be peasants, they were forced into that role.

The feudal system is pretty simple. It can be broken down into 3 parts. 1. The Church who took care of souls 2. The Nobility who were suppose to protect people 3. Peasants/serfs who did all the work. The Church told the Nobility what they were to do, the Nobility was powerful through the approval of the church as well as having the knights keeping the population in order, and the peasants/serfs worked the land, raised the animals, fought/died in the wars, and paid taxes.

The largest part of the feudal society are either peasants or pages. The kings and queens were usually not popular or anything. My Project Challenge class is learning about this so that's why I answer a lot of Medieval Questions. Hope my answer helped!
