So who's the REAL Patriot?

So the government is raising taxes so they can better fund the tanks in the war against PEACE. At first glance I say sounds good, but seriosly, is this the right thing to do? Let's think about it for a second.

Here's the problem, it's the common man that pays the taxes. What we end up doing is transferring our wealth to a handful of elite soldiers who do the fighting for us. The thing though, is that the game is stacked in favor of those with experience. Fighting is the most important experience. Fighting without weapons is pretty much a waste of time and with these taxes no one has money to buy weapons. So instead of letting us keep our money to buy weapons, we pool it together to buy weapons for a handful of elite players. Sounds pretty socialist to me, but let's just assume its a good idea. After all, PEACE is right here right now, so we don't have time to let the population level up. Right?

I'm not so sure about that either. If we do this we end up with two classes of Americans. The "elite" who use up all the resources of the country, getting stronger and stronger, and the rest of us Joes who can't afford to buy weapons stay weak. If becoming a second class citizen is what it takes to keep America free, I say OK, but what happens when these "elites" leave the game. We invested all of our wealth in them and now we are left vulnerable. America is only strong if we are ALL strong. Not just the handful that are close to the kitchen and get all good weapons. I say lower the taxes and let the Americans fight this war. I don't think giving everyone a chance to fight, level up and make America stronger is unpatriotic, don't let anyone tell you what to do.

OK, World War III is here and we lost the first battle. How the fuck does someone attack the USA and get away with it. What I want to know is how many people were able to hit with weapons. You hit at half stregnth if you don't use a weapon, so its cute but it's not going to help. The quesion is, who can afford to buy weapons when we have a 30% income tax rate. Somehow PEACE is able to fund its regular armies without bankrupting the general population. There the average citizens are hitting with weapons while we are scratching the wall with our bare hands. Not to mention the fact that access to weapons doubles the rate at which you level up. I say lower the taxes so the citizens can buy more weapons, overall it would be net win for the country.

Some numbers:

Average take home pay at 30% tax rate: $14
Average take home pay at 20% tax rate: $16
Q1 Foo😛 $1
Q1 Weapon $8

If we had a lower tax rate the average citizen WOULD BE ABLE TO HIT DOUBLE. I am not saying stop taxing because we need to fund the army, I am saying we would be a more effective (not to mention more equitable) fighting force with a lower tax rate.
