Hello America. It's me, DMJ. I'm pretty busy this month. DoD, Congress...ok so maybe that's just two things. But that's a lot of things!
Earlier this month, or maybe the end of last month (who really knows, I'm certainly too drunk to remember), Congress discussed the idea of reducing the current Work Tax rate from 10% to 7%. It was heavily debated. It was a tight vote. Ultimately, the measure was voted down and the 10% tax remained.
People were upset. "Why would congress want to oppress us with taxes?" they asked. We told them we didn't want to oppress them. Relief was coming already. They were skeptical.
Two days ago, the promised day, October 12th, arrived.
On October 12th, the Average Wage was 27.53 USD, meaning that the price per click of working as manager was 2.75 USD
On October 13th, the Average Wage dropped over 30% to 18.67 USD, a price per click of working as manager of 1.87 USD
The pattern continued today when the Average Wage dropped again to 14.04 USD for a combined reduction of nearly 50%.
What does this mean to you? It means that WAMing is once again afforable. If you WAM'd during the 5% tax, you can WAM now for the same price, basically.
What does it meant to the government? Our tax revenue has fallen dramatically. If we had reduced the rate back then, the impact would have been even more severe.
We knew this was coming and we acted accordingly to continue to rebuild our reduced reserves and put us in a better position now that revenues have fallen. Feeling better about things now?
Now you can see why we did what we did. And knowing is half the battle. The other half is cocaine.

Verifying drunken DMJ shenanigans.

Well I guess you guys had your heads on straight. Now when will the CO blitz start? I'm tired of having to work in Mehico
But that's the best place to work!
Tequila!
But seriously. Things will become more clear soon. Plans are forthcoming.
Plans have been forthcoming for the last month.
In fairness, Frost took over on the 5th. Plans of this magnitude take work and planning. If you don't see changes in the next couple of days, you have my permission to steal half my cocaine stash.
This is a good article. Nice job informing people, DMJ.
Thanks!
How dare we take away one of the reasons for the peasants to complain that we're oppressing them.

OK, my question is: why did the average wage fall? Your statistics are very pretty, but ultimately without a reference point, they're meaningless. Is it possible that average wages fell because the tax rate was so high eUASers could no longer afford the high wages they were paying? Is it likely that the high taxes drove away players who felt they were paying through the nose but then told to be patient that their suffering would be worth it? Is it imaingable that the eUSA has lost allies, territories, and seasoned players because of the fiscal and territorial mismanagement of the country by our government. This article is a fluff piece, revealing nothing, and boiling itself down to "I told you so". Well, we citizens are waiting, oh mighty ones in charge: do something productive with our money and show us that our cynicism has been misplaced.
The average wage fell because we're finally coming down off the consumption spike (and wage increase) from last month's contest. It's a 30-day rolling average, so it took a certain amount of time before the average wage went down again.
It came down because it was artificially raised by Oblige's taxation experiment. Admittedly, the experiment led to the fixing of a bug that could have been exploited by our enemies, but it /is/ what spiked the average wage, which was also explained in the tax reduction debate for anyone who reads Congressional proceedings.
No im pretty sure the other half of the battle is killing those communist b*****'s
as seen in that one flash animation....
😛
Voted! Good article!
OK then. I'll take that cocaine.
