Where did all the money go?

by Keriz
I'd like to make two points today:
1. Please lower work taxes to 1% or 2%. To be self sufficient, I have a lot of factories and I use them to supply myself. High work taxes makes it difficult for me to get ahead. Change VAT or something if necessary. Even if we lose region bonuses, it matters very little to me. At 3% work tax, I am paying over 100cc per day in taxes. I'm not a candidate for Battle Hero medals. I am not a Visa card holder. I am just a two-clicker quietly farming my own little plot of land.
When work taxes hit 3%, I have to make 100cc per day from farming as a mercenary in battles. Since I am not a heavy hitter with massive strength, making up to 100cc per day from fighting is not feasible. Since I am barely self sufficient, I don't have much production to sell on the market either. With prices for all categories of products being so low, you dont get much for your production anyway.
2. So you can already guess that I object to the 3% tax policy. Therefore, I disagree with what the government is doing. However I don't condone theft.
If you disagree with the government, please don't get angry. Just give it a bit of time and let people sort things out. Discussions, meetings and getting people to come to an agreement takes time. Not everyone is going to be happy. Not everyone is going to be satisfied. Being a community means for better or for worse, we put aside our own disagreements and accept what the consensus has decided. If you believe you are truly correct, and you truly believe the consensus is wrong, then work on your diplomacy skills. Because diplomacy is the art of letting other people to have it YOUR way.
Our community and the people representing them are entitled to make mistakes. We will (hopefully) learn from them. Please be patient and work with the community.
[Edit] So from reading the comments below, it looks like I was trolled. So good work J Seemore. Haha. You got me. Congratz. I suppose you won't mind if I publish your message to me so that everyone will know how I got trolled right?

Thank you for your call to calm. 🙂
I have some questions about the other aspects of the article.
1. How are you running 100 companies a day and barely self sufficient? I run about 20 companies a day and make a about hundred CC daily. Would you share what sorts of companies you own? Wheat farms and iron mines are awful...
2. I call cow-poo on your screenshots/photoshop. 1100 gold can't be transferred in one hit to a citizen account. Anyone with the ability to run a heist of this magnitude knows you can't. The gold will have gone via another org account... Perhaps we should be looking at who has access to an org (not just an Australian rented one).
1. When you work as a manager in your own companies, you have to pay work taxes. It is these taxes that are killing me. I consume almost all the products that I make. My factories might be inefficient, but upgrading them takes a lot of time (need to earn money). I'm not out to aggressively min-max everything and spend hours playing this game in the name of mathematical optimization. Nor do I wish to run a spreadsheet for this game cos I already have enough spreadsheets at work. I play this game casually and inefficiently. Spending less than 2 min per login a few times a day.
2. I am not aware of what can and cannot be done with an org account. If it is a photoshopped pic, then I think that question should be directed at J Seemore. If the pic is not genuine, I am curious as to why he sent those pics to me.
I second Ilene's sentiments on remaining calm. People have been too quick to point fingers when this is a time we need unity the most.
Would you like to provide a little more context for those screenshots?
I left eAus due to high work taxes. I returned recently. J Seemore sent a long message to me saying welcome back. I dont know why he showed me those pics. I rarely communicate with anyone on eRep. Initially I did not understand the significance of those pics because I was not aware of what Logistics&Supply was. After reading a few articles, I finally understood J Seemore's message. He basically agreed with me about work taxes. I think he took the money because he disagreed with government policy (or whatever...).
I sat on the info for about 1.5 days. Not sure what to do. In the end I thought I shouldn't stay silent. I might disagree with government policy, but I don't agree with theft. It is not a course of action I could condone.
Let me know how to donate with the org accounts. 😛
Or the screenshot is really old, or it is fake. And, in any case, who give that to you?
He has been trolled to the max xD
If I have been trolled then so be it. Good work J Seemore. Whatever...
Pls read my previous reply to the above post. J Seemore sent the pic to me. I do not know why he did that. I am not aware if the pic is real or not. Either way, I am a bit indifferent to the whole thing. If the pic is fake and J Seemore is out to make a fool of me, then he has succeeded. Please forgive my ignorance about what can and cannot be done with a org account.
You did nothing wrong, please understand that. 🙂
At any rate, he's out to show something. We can only wait to see what it is...
NO
Also I discover that limit last months. And sometimes I don't remember about it. 😛
It was NP damn corrector.
Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm.
Jonah 1.15.
I hope you will understand where it comes Keriz.
Whatever...
Fairy tales are funny 😃
Aye, there are big boobed princesses :3
I recall the old watch this hand while I move something with the other about some theft quite a while ago in eAus.
It involved SC and AB (older folks will know this one) where someone admitted the theft/movement of monies to hide the real cause.
Two people now should be in the lime light as to what has been happening, one is Keriz and the other is J Seemore.
Thats exciting. I've never been in the limelight in eRep before. Yay to me.
You can't deny the best part of the article is this:

Dick move of your summer... 😕
I think Henry the 8h's endorsement is the best part too. Apparently I got trolled. I made a fool of myself. I revealed myself to be a noob. So at least I should get paid for it right? If only more people would VOTE, SUBSCRIBE and ENDORSE... (hint hint... I'm looking at you...) 😁
Give me 30cc and ill endorse and vote, 50cc and I'll even subscribe

Oh come on. Give this noob a chance.
Don't make me photoshop your name and paste it over J Seemore.
