Running From The Taxman, A Great American Road Trip Chris Plante

Running From The Taxman, A Great American Road Trip, begins with an array of letters full of pleas and excuses from a fictional character, Simon Shenbetter, to the IRS. Having not paid his taxes for many years and realizing that he is doomed, Simon hits the road with the little cash he has loaded to a debit card. His road trip is chronicled in frequent emails to his new girlfriend, Maggie, with whom he shares his quest to find humanity in the tax code, along with his vision of the American Dream, and as an added bonus the ideals of characters he meets along the way. It's not about taxes. It's a love story about two people, about a big family, and about humanity. It's about a trip from the individual self to a connected soul. And it's about keeping one step ahead of the Taxman.
