Not true! Remember, in the 1700s money is not paper, it's gold and silver. That's cold and hard! We sleep on feather beds, wrapped in mink comforters, with wood burning stoves heating the room. Now, the stoves are continuously fed by servants with a long line leading from the forest where the firewood is continuously cut and handed down the line until it's fed into the stove, and all those servants are paid to do this job constantly regardless of weather!
