"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Buffeted About
I think my novel is finally moving. I think I worked through the blocks and plot obstacles and it's gonna flow now. PHEE-YEW.
Considering how most of them got their money - they could pay a lot of it in taxes. I hate to think that way but I just watched a thing on how Trump trampled over all the locals, forcing them off properties they've held for generations, to build a damn golf course in Scotland (or maybe it was Ireland, not sure.) Evil Selfish jackass.
It's too bad that the tax system has become a tool of social engineering. I'm not opposed to the flat tax just for simplicity if nothing else. Then at least the uber rich at least pay the same tax rate as everyone else.
Creating the crazy complex system we have now, with all the loopholes and tax credits and rebates yadda yadda yadda, not only makes it way to hard, but instantly puts the average taxpayer at a disadvantage, not having a gang of consultants, lawyers and accountants to massage the numbers.

Big congrats on the novel breakthrough!!!!
@JJJ Indeed. That was why I liked the allusion to the Depression Era song.
@widder Merci!
