Reflection and Inspiration
Although this thought passed through his head, Daneel couldn't help but pause for a bit and think again about what he was doing.
For these people, regardless of the fact that they were much more well-to-do than most in Lanthanor, it was quite understandable as to why his words could be so anger-inducing.
Many of them had worked hard step by step to become what they were now.
And for people like them, anything obtained without effort would always be scorned upon.
If Daneel went forward with this tax, it would be such that they were being discriminated against by the Government.
At the end of the day, they were under the sovereign rule of Lanthanor. Thus, just as Daneel said, they could simply up and leave from the Kingdom.
Leave something which they had worked on for their whole lives or live with earning a little less profit?
At least for those who had come up with hard work, the answer was quite clear.
