6% !!! Let's rob the people again so next time we can sit on a pile of cash rather than our hands.
After trying to sell the country to the French you're after cash again. What does the ordinary citizen get out of this other than poorer?
"Let's rob the people again" Who exactly are these people you keep referring to? I'm a citizen and pay taxes just like everyone else in gov't and Congress.
Have you thought that these sky high tax rates are the reason we lose people?
What exactly does the average citizen get for these punitive taxes? Absolutely nothing.

Maybe try something like having the lowest tax in the eworld and advertise the UK as that for more fighters. We can't outspend anyone on the battlefield.
lowest taxes and no bonuses - hardly a selling point is it?
6% and no bonuses is? Dunno why I bothered commenting to be honest, feel free to not reply.
"This change in work tax is to take advantage of the regions we now hold."
To be clear - at present, the proposal is to return WT back to 6%, we will obviously consider adjusting downwards again as and when we lose regions.
I literally don't care what the tax rate is or was, my point above was about making the UK more attractive to people around the eworld in general.
There are a number of countries with 1% WT and no bonuses and there are number of countries with modest taxes (3-6😵 and plenty of bonuses - so I can't see what the appeal would be that could make the eUK special?
lowest tax for a 100% weapon bonus country is 3% in Poland, for our allies it's 5%. You really can't see how having a lower rate would make it more appealing for people to want to live here?
Full WAM 88 rubber WRM = 208cc/day in Poland
286cc in Chile
UK @ 1% = 56cc
@6% = 337cc
On the 88 Rubber Plants the difference in value of produce at current market prices is 1,760cc per day.
So if we have no bonuses and 1% WT your profits would be 1695 and if we had 6% WT and full bonuses your profits would be 3177. A few extra % of WT makes very little difference in compared to the bonuses. In fact even with a 25% WT your 88 rubber plants would make more money - 2089cc per day than 88 rubber plants with no bonuses and 1% WT.
All probably correct but not really the point still. Lets make it simple,
Country A has 5% work tax + 100% weapon bonus
Country B has 20% work tax + 100% weapon bonus
Which country is more likely to attract new business owners?
I can certainly understand where you're coming from here. One argument has always been if we can't hope to gain the kind of money we need through taxes - should we try? One person selling many packs each month can raise far more than we can hope to in taxes - so would it be better to keep money in the hands of individuals?
Congress isn't interested in this conversation so it's pointless.
Can we try vote 4 again in a month where more than 7 people will vote?
