Im not sure that it sounds so "American." When have any of us been celebrated for the taxes we pay the IRS?

I didn't realize that knighthood was tied to the money one brought to the crown either. Thanks pseydtonne

I meant that knighthood being less noble and more about the cash seems, in my mind, like something we might have come up with, being that our whole culture seems so to revolve around the dollar. I was referencing my mistaken ideas about the knighthood -vs- the reality that knights service isn't some high-minded noble position, so much as a recognition of raking in alot of cash.
