Is it that we really like to live in a fiscal hell, or is it that we are not enough players to pay for the MPPs and the MUs?
C'est quoi l'affaire? Est-ce parce qu'on aime cela, ou bien est-ce parce que le eCanada est un trou et qu'on n'a pas le choix de taxer les citoyens à mort afin de signer nos MPPs et fournir des enveloppes brunes aux MUs?

Nobody knows about the Laffer curve in the government while I buy my weapons on the foreign markets?
Pendant que j'achète mes armes sur les marchés étrangers, personne au gouvernement ne comprend le principe de la courbe de Laffer?

Enlighten us, what value for "t" is optimum in eCanada?
I don't know, but at t=20%, I'm buying on the foreign markets!

suffice it to say, the "t" is not 20%...it may be the former 17% but I think the threshold has become lower as of late. 15% or even 12% may be the tipping point. No way to know unless we test it out
The T could even be on the other side 🙂
Unfortunately during that time of 17% and the Tumbleweed Wally CP experiment, we had days of no fights due to brilliant MPP voting by our politicians. So we had people leave eCan (some for good), and some days of no fighting = no buying of supplies etc.
Is there someone in congress who is tracking these changes?
What's up with eCan's tax revenues?

Yes, as Addy pointed out we can try it out at 10% to see.
t value is 25% (the maximum allowed by the game) since the bot creates an inelastic demand.
"Not sure if anyone has noticed, but daily tax revenues have dropped since the tax hike to 20%. Higher tax rates do not equal higher tax revenues. "
You could be right, but that statement alone doesn't take into account losing regions and people being in Poland for RW's. The VAT has only been 20% for 2 weeks. Addy's daily averages chart only shows revenue start to drop in the days we started losing regions
Weapons VAT has gone:
Three months ago from 15% to 3%
Two months ago from 3% to 12%
One month ago from 12% to 17%
Then two weeks ago from 17% to 20%
I don't think we should look at moving VAT again until we have all/most of our regions back. Losing regions throws a major variable into the equation and makes it difficult to accurately guage what effect taxes are having
As I can see, Canadian people like high taxes!
But fortunately, it's easy to buy on foreign markets.
Yes Homer, losing bonuses reduce tax revenue. Well, now imagine the current situation with 3% VAT instead of 20%, even less revenue.
Several countries having a similar population have set their tax rate to 5% - 10%.
C'est vrai. What is their daily tax revenue?
A useless CP and ineffective congress also caused people to leave eCan when they couldn't fight. These were obviously active people. Did they come back? If they were active they may have bought stuff off of foreign markets.
During that time I made sure to buy nothing off of the Canadian market because I did not want to support that waste of a government. Now that things have changed for the better, I am buying again.
@SpockPQ
Also hard to compare to other countries because they have different bonuses, different pay scales, players and a more/less competitive market. Perhaps you could find one similar and compare?
You have to look at all the tax's not just one.
