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 Creaser, who adheres to inflexible and outdated methods.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:
“One thinks of all the hands
That are raising dingy shades
In a thousand furnished rooms.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
