The entire point of my post was to say that High Rock could be hostile to the Empire if they tried to tax them for a battle that had no meaning to them (Plus i was just explaining someone else's point). Who specifically the taxes are going to and how large the tax is are only partially related. Actually, it had a meaning to them. The sooner the rebellion is over the sooner the Empire will help in retaking Wayrest.

Not to forget that we don't even know what a soldier's wage is, for all we know, they are paid 10 septims, seeing as the Legion provides gear, food and a place to stay, doubling that to 20 isn't much, especially considering a lot of soldiers also died during the assault.
