From what I have read I don't believe that at the time of the pyramids the Egyptians even had money and they they paid their taxes with grain/food or by doing labour for the Pharaoh. Namely building monuments and cities.

Hmm, could be. It has actually been a long time since I read up much on their culture. Pretty much all ancient civilizations were pretty unfair in a lot of ways. You're either born nobility, or it sucks to be you. It's the cost of society.
