Couldn't find a pic of sexy taxes.

I can only imagine the results will be horrible, because most people don't understand economics.

Little Old Halfling Day 1,104, 15:27

Probably, but might as well try.

Thanks!

I'm kinda with Devoid on the predicted poll outcome here, but no harm in gauging public opinion and coming back with some solid numbers.

maybe are time would be better spent educating over crying

taxes + economics = not the same thing

Devoid Day 1,104, 20:09

Taxes are a significant part of economic policy in this game, and have effects throughout the economy.

Swiftstar Day 1,105, 06:41

am not sure if the results will show what we should do, but rather gauge how people view the taxes in this game (which if this were RL, which it isn't, would be way too high to function, thus causing concern) personally i'm glad we have stepped away form the "well in RL, we do things this way..." ideas.

My question is: Would it hurt to look at what our tax is spent for, then see if programs need changing and taxes adjusted accordingly?

Heero Blaze Day 1,105, 15:10

There should be a question on how much an individual makes after taxes. Then we can determine purchasing power of the respondents and have a clearer picture of how taxes affect personal economic choices. (Assuming there are honest responses)

Little Old Halfling Day 1,105, 18:08

There are honest responses, actually. Surprising, right? ^__^

And I didn't want to get too in depth. This was just a cursory opinion poll. If people want something bigger, I can make it.
