Hi kids!
I think we can squeeze one more on!
Well, the topic for today is:
"Does ya pay me now or does ya pay me later?"
~or~
"Last guy to leave gits stuck with the bill."

"Last guy to leave gits stuck with the bill."
You can skip ahead to the comment section now and tell me how wrong I am. Go ahead, show everyone how smart you are. No need to read the next section unless you would like to know what I believe needs done to keep Canada open for business.
Choices Are Good
Keep in mind we have a choice to make, pay for war or not. I suppose a third option is that we could raise taxes AND have no war. That would give bitchers extra things to do here. However we cannot do neither. People that used to fund your fun little wars are tired of flipping the bill. Xichael did an excellent job of putting on a good show at little expense. Dennis is looking to continue the fun but is running out of cc.
I've made my choice. My commune is gone, I no longer make over a hundred of Q7s per day for free (except for a small tax), which were given to my workers and used by me. Now I have to pay for what I use. I also don't have thousands of cc to 'donate' for CO and MPPs. My daily damage is limited. Others may do as they like but I don't feel compelled to spend hundreds of RL dollars here anymore.
Those who've never spent (or spend very little) money to play erep need to understand that war is not cheap. A choice must be made. Someone has to pay the bills. If we are not to spend RL money then that only leaves cc that the game provides, in other words tax revenue.
Donations through fund raisers are great and it gives folks a chance to get involved, to feel like they are part of what's going on. The problem is that without gold buyers the results will be radically reduced, sporadic and short lived.
The Choice You Must Make
The bottom line is this, war or no war? People complain when there is no war. People complain when taxes are raised. The treasury is running dry. Time to decide if Canada continues to wage war or if we make cc to fill our accounts.
You seem to forget that the taxes can be changed in a matter of hours. As soon as the war ends the taxes can be reduced. Higher taxes during war time is a common thing in the real world, should it not be so here?
The idea of saving a warchest in the treasury is long past, no one likes the idea of saving for war. Now we must see if anyone wants to actually pay for war.

You are still sitting on your massive fortune of boredom.
so basically, now that you don't have a bunch of companies that add up when taxes are high you are okay to have higher taxes... you have done it again lol, go push a MPP button with the wrong nation or something 😃
Even when I had over a hundred companies it cost very little for the taxes. I don't even remember how much, maybe 3 or 4 hundred CAD per day. That was spit compared to what I spent.
I don't like the idea of higher taxes because it ruins communes. That is not an important issue anymore because I don't think any Canadian communes rely on making their own WRM by WaMing anymore. Most either use labor to make RM or buy it off the black market.
Still have yet to see your ass doing anything besides bitching.
guys I dont actually care. Stop feeding me
How exactly do you think Canada goes to war?
" Those who've never spent (or spend very little) money to play erep need to understand that war is not cheap. "
Well , for me last time it costs 3 million CC !! you want to start a war ( or a fun , anything ) you have to PAY !
You are wrong!
About thinking I'd say you're wrong.
Crank up the taxes or go to sleep, y'all.
Just for you:
I'm not insensitive, we just need to make an adjustment to the plan. Like I said, people must choose, go to war and pay or settle for MPP battles fighting for someone else. Simple. 🙂
Like the great majority of eRep players, I'm pretty sure war runs on rainbow kisses and unicorn erections, so all this talk about taxes is very confusing.

There is no need to complain about higher taxes. Higher taxes are good for eCanada and not just for wars. Higher taxes mean more money in your pockets. Raise taxes and raise that minimum wage to something reasonable. In the process, the cost of goods will increase but that will equate to even more tax revenue.
Do it now. If congress has balls they will raise taxes and wages. If not, we gotta select people who will
