Some Franklin Funds are tax exempt and if that is what you are withdrawng, it is not taxable, not now or ever I don't know what the a and c class would be so Franklin has either indicated to you or you need to ask them if they are taxable funds.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
