Raising Taxes

Raising Taxes is the working title of a possible third Moist von Lipwig novel in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.

Raising Taxes was first alluded to during the promotional tour of Making Money.

Near the end of Making Money, Lord Vetinari and Drumknott discuss the need to pose new challenges to Moist von Lipwig after the Royal Bank has been completely reformed. They consider the feasibility of Moist von Lipwig becoming Taxmaster, a position currently held by seventy-four-year-old Mr. Creaser, who adheres to inflexible and outdated methods. Mr. Creaser will need to be compelled to retire, while Moist may not be so eager to accept a job that does not create friends.

Famous quotes containing the words raising and/or taxes:

    Every epoch which seeks renewal first projects its ideal into a human form. In order to comprehend its own essence tangibly, the spirit of the time chooses a human being as its prototype and raising this single individual, often one upon whom it has chanced to come, far beyond his measure, the spirit enthuses itself for its own enthusiasm.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    As I went about with my father when he collected taxes, I knew that when taxes were laid some one had to work to earn the money to pay them.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
