Produktbeschreibung

"Uncle Harveigh", as he was known around town, was handling the business quite well. Well enough, in fact, to get the attention of "Uncle Sambo" aka the US Government. The Internal Revenue Service summoned him and his financial records for an audit.

A previously little-known fact about Harveigh Galtsch was that he has a condition known as "Dyslexia". It is a condition that causes the brain to misconfigure the images of written or typed letters and numerals, turning them backwards, up-side-down, mirror images, and other phenomenal warping that science has not yet been able to fully understand.

For many years now, Dyslexia has been categorized as a learning disability, with all sorts of educational mitigation and social programs to benefit people so afflicted. But, when Harveigh was little, those programs and designations didn't exist. As he explains to his nephew (our biographer) in the first part of the book:

"I caught my bookkeeper cheating me, so I fired him. Then, I decided to do it myself rather than trust somebody else. Trouble is, I never was much good at reading and writing, especially a-writhe-metic. I get the symbols all turned around. Now-days they call it dyslexia, but when I was a kid they just called it stupid -- so I learned not to tell anybody and just try to cope with it."

A later concept in the book is Executive Scapegoats Limited, based on the fact that high-flying executives in danger of indictment, trial, conviction, and/or prison sentences, (for insider trading, fraudulent practices, or other high and mighty crimes), are willing to pay large sums of money for somebody else to take the fall for their misdeeds.

Alternatively, there are a bunch of recently released prisoners who have spent most of their lives in custody, and don't feel comfortable making their own decisions and running their own lives, and would prefer to go back to institutional living.

Oh yeah, we'd best not forget about The Antiestablishmentarian Project, in which Uncle Harveigh hired a bunch of rebel programmers and hackers (on probation or parole) to re-program tax software to allow the customers to overwrite the automated calculations...

(You wanna know more -- buy the book -- it's damn cheap!)

Autorenporträt

Bio Info for Maharg Ydobon Age = Old; birthdate lost in ancient history and political disruptions. Maybe he was born soon after WW2 somewhere in a now dislocated jurisdiction, possibly Europe or South America or somewhere else. But, it seems he must have been in elementary school in the early 1960s. He claims to have been in anti-war and civil rights protests during the Nixon years. Ethnicity = Other; has ties to various ethnicities and claims allegiance to none of them. Claims to have come from "the old world", and that most of the Ydobon family didn't choose to come to this backwater planet... (Maybe there will be something of this vein in future books?) Language = Spanglish (border mixture of Spanish & English) and BuHdobyan (huh?), but his first language is "ba-baba-baby-talk..." Family = Multiple members of extended family, many of whom are now deceased. Favorite Auntie just passed away in her late eighties. Mama died at the same age a few years ago. Some brothers are still in contact, and through them are many nephews and nieces. Heck, life goes on and you lose some and gain some and it all comes out "even steven" - except when it doesn't. Work = Various Jobs & Businesses. "The first regular job I remember was walking bean fields in the brutal heat and humidity of the Mississippi River Valley, hoeing out all of the weeds while being careful to protect the plants. Yeah, I made a whopping 65 cents an hour for that menial labor. "Over the years there have been many jobs and businesses. Gradually the pay got better as did the amount of control I had over my life. "Recently a client told me my rates were way too low for the market, and that I should increase my base rate (for just showing up and not doing any real work) to more than double. I considered that absurd, but increased my hourly rate (including work) by about 20 percent. "Reality Check! My rates haven't really gone up that much. Our economy is in such a mess that our dollars are becoming worthless, and you have to get a lot more of them to buy the basic stuff that most people need. That's called 'transitory inflation', and has been going on for hundreds of years... "So, somebody's $100 per hour rate now is maybe equivalent to a wage of $10 an hour back when I was growing up. Okay, that was a living wage for a seasoned technician. You could support a family on that if you were frugal....
