Class D, the focus of the story and composed \"anybody on whom the suspicion of creativity falls\" (21) is supposed to pay at the 70\% rate, but an error in the law allows them to make considerable incomes. In response the government assigns a minder to every individual in Class D to oversee all their activities.
