10% Work Tax is Lie
Hampton H. Hampton
I don’t write too many articles, because I typically don’t care.
But recently there has been a WHOLE LOT of blah blah blah about te high 10% work tax. The general public is against it, while the elite gov’t types are all for it and keep publishing propaganda as to why we need it. They will tell you budget this and budget that. It’s so we can fight wars and defend ourselves.
They, of course, don’t tell you the truth, which is many of them fund their selves off of your tax payer money and that’s why they refuse to let the taxes get lower, they have a comfortable life style. Ask Kemal Eggheaderton (Or whatever his name is) He brags openly about the 74 Q5 companies he owns without ever buying gold, note that he has been in charge of the treasury for years. Can any of you common folks, like myself, even imagine being able to build that kind of company strength without the purchase of gold?
Me either, make a person think about where that money came from doesn’t it?
Anyway, on to my point, if you check the nation rankings, the power ones, you will see that EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY, that is more powerful than the eUS have LOWER TAXES. Argentina has 7%, all the rest are at 5% or less. In fact all countries in the top 10, other than the eUS and Argentina, have 5% or less.
So you see kids, the “powers that be” will tell you that without the high tax we would not be a “powerful well oiled fighting machine” And that the high tax “prepares us for a rainy day”. On a side note, that “rainy day fund” is set at 10 million, and it’s all there, just waiting on the rain I guess. So where does the extra tax money go now that the rainy day fund is full and we are still at 10%? We need to ask the gov’t WTF is happening with the tax money? Why is the eUSA not ranked #1 when we have the highest taxes to create “well oiled fighting machines and astronomical CO’s?” Where is the money going? The Taxes are supposed to be “so we can have bonuses” If we have the highest taxes why don’t we have the highest bonuses?
So, the problem is not the war, it’s not a savings account, it’s the people managing the money. Other countries are doing a lot more with a lot less and are having no problems doing it. The tax money is being misused and mismanaged and going into too many private citizen pockets instead of staying in tax payers pockets so we can build ourselves up.
We need to do one of two things, remove the elites that have been in power for years, or find a new country to live in. Because if we do neither, then 10% or MORE work tax is our fate FOREVER.

You are dumb.
Says the leader of sticky hands club...
I've literally taken zero dollars from any MU since 2010 when I was in the Mobile Infantry. Nice try though.
But you still took a shit ton before 2010, it just hasn't run out yet.
You're kidding, right Liam?
Does it look like I'm kidding!

You are vile.
Henry tried to sell me drugs and gave me porn.
Why are you complaining about that?
The administration isn't stealing and it is heartening to see so many stand up and say "you should not say that players are thieves".
"DMV, I heard you want more donations so you can steal more. Is that true? " didn't attract as much attention, nor did Kemal's other comment to the effect that all who disagree with him have psychopathic preferences. Or was it sociopathic? can't remember.
We all say dumb things sometimes and they tend to distract from the valid part of our utterances.
Did I say "From an MU?" Nice try.
You've outright called Kemal a thief here, are you stupid enough to do the same with me?
I'd wager I've given more gold away than you've ever had pass through your account.
Considering how many former president later wrote about how much money they funneled out of the treasury, It kinda makes one raise an eyebrow or two. Granted, I haven't seen one of those articles in a while.
In Beta everyone had gold cause they didn't ever ban multis. Ever. The wigs wanted the game to look big and successful. In early v1 the senior level military leadership and the even more senior political people had access to money with little oversight (as we had a bunch of it), something we largely fixed with the creation of the CBO (thought the military side was still basically a slush fund for the JCS).
No President post v2 has had easy access to cash, and we meticulously keep track of where it goes. We can very easily make a list of everyone who has ripped off the collective since then, as each time has been recorded and debated all over the forum.
Your ignorance is nearly overwhelming.
So it does get ripped off, as you can easily make a list, so I am right. So how am I ignorant?
You proved me correct, thanks man.
By underlings and people stealing companies (which we can't mechanically do much about). The last time anything other than the JCS/SEALS/Black Sheep walking off with companies they didn't pay for happened was when Patton ripped off Interior...and that was a couple of years ago.
The crap with the Seals and Black Sheep is why we don't build raw materials companies any more.
My point was that no President (as you're asserting here), nor anyone with significant access to our resources, has perpetrated any sort of theft. You can't stop someone whose job is to hand out food and tanks to newbies from simply keeping the food and tanks, it's mechanically impossible, and is a risk that every group (including private MUs) are forced to take.
Seriously? This doesn't even warrant a response. It's that outrageous. EVERY outlay of government money is tracked to the cent of where it goes.
Nice conspiracy theory, though.
And who tracks it?
The point is, why are we at 10% when others are at less and doing much more.
It's totally misused and mismanaged, by the same people that "track it"
Anyone in Congress is welcome to call for an audit on anything at any time, unless you think the entirety of Congress is also a bunch of thieves?
No they aren't, as I've said int he past, congress does not run the eUSA. And again, who would provide the audit? The same people who control the money in the first place.
I honestly could careless about who steals what, again the point is why Can't the eUSA do more with 10% taxes when other countries do more with less taxes?
"I honestly could careless about who steals what"
But that doesn't stop you from directly and blatantly accusing someone of theft in a public article, right? Your tin foil hat is showing.
Comparing our output is apples and oranges. Until the recent 2x determination boosts that wiped Serbia, they were bringing in more money with 1% than we do with 10%. These other countries you're talking about have more people, stronger people, more private donations, whatever. All of those factors affect it, you can't put us next to Serbia or Poland and say "Well their taxes are lower, why aren't ours?"
Greece, 1100 less people and half the taxes, higher ranking that the eUSA, and they were just the first one I looked at, do you have anymore invalid points to make?
Or do you now see that the eUSA taxes are being totally mismanaged and misused?
The US doesn't have the botnets those countries do for farming and damage.
"The US doesn't have the botnets those countries do for farming and damage."
Botnets have precisely zero impact on why countries of similar size to the US do more damage. The majority of Greek, Serbian, Chilean etc. damage is produced by Gold-buyers. Your not seriously suggesting the hundreds or thousands of Euros Greek (for example) tanks dump on Gold to purchase EBs in order to tank like fuck is somehow restricted by how many Q7 weapons they can/cannot farm through botnets...!? LOL

Henry Pfeiffer Arundel: "The US doesn't have the botnets those countries do for farming and damage."
The USA may not RIGHT NOW, but I personally know of TWO in the past. Nice try, though.
The TWO you know about were small scale and used for politics, not large scale military damage and supplying. The only group actively farming accounts isn't using 'bots' so much as accounts people simply walked away from and gave their friends the passwords so they could keep access to the companies. Even then, it's a small number and the removal of orgs makes that necessary (though the companies weren't paid for by the accounts in question, they just sit there).
In all of the countries used as examples for OMG LOW TAXES AND MUCHO DAMAGE each MU has its own string of accounts that exist solely to offer free work clicks and to WAM what they hold. Pair that with a higher rate of gold buying and you get the difference we see. TBH, the gold buying is more important, but the botting helps with a fair bit.
Hahahaha, this made my day.
First of all, Secretary of the Treasury does not handle any money. The CBO does. I am not in the CBO and I never were.
Secondly, if you have been in this game for roughly 4 years and still wonder how people can build 74 companies without buying gold, you must be doing something wrong.
As much as I enjoyed the article, I will report it since you shouldn't play with my last name.
If it did get taken down due to your report it would only remove the record of these "stretched" conclusions and replace them with more conspiracy "evidence".
Just let everyone have their rant and move onto other business.
And the more amusing thing is, you bought votes for this piece of ****.
I didnt buy any votes, not a single one.
Yeah, right.
Nope not a one, I wouldn't even know where to begin with that, I don't write too many articles.
Someone else must have thought it was important to read and bought the votes, but not me.
Well, then whomever bought votes for this piece of **** is amusing.
I would assume Pluffer, since he had a comment or two he wants people to see them, since he is all about self gratification and ePeen.
If you wanna see a piece of **** you should read that article by Kemal that got taken down. Oh, wait.....

You believe that Henry bought votes so people would be able to see him calling you dumb? That is better than a CHS/DB conspiracy theory.
Ur mum's a lie.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick burn, Swagshibo.
Werd
I'm p sure tenshibo is now officially my favorite player in erep

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Nope, I don't work my factories when I have eUSA CS.
