The tax man cometh...

Thank you for this, I did not know the word "privation" before this piece.

All I can say is thank you for your sacrifice. The people have need of your wealth.

I was glad to learn the word when I learned it... finally a word for something I already understood. Wish I understood wealth better though.

knew a bloke who was  thinking

Outlandish thinking... though maybe not oulandish enough.

That's a powerful little thought there.

Thank you. Little being the operative word and probably looking for a very to hang with...
