Taxation, The Power to Destroy

Entry August 9th

Dear Journal,

The Following is a scathing dissent, enter with caution.

Back in America I always had a difficult time explaining to the populace at large the dangers of taxations but as of today that has changed.

There is nothing more destructive than the power to dissolved wealth through forceful means. Just think what Plato has done, he is taking the work and the labor of the individual and pawn it off to the likes of government. That being said I was shocked when I had to pay more than half my income in taxes with just a 10 percent work tax.

Which brings me to Plato, if you are going institute a tax code you should learn how to do it properly. The current system has no logical sense and is going to destroy an already pathetic economy. I am surprised by this? Well no, this is something Plato does from time to time to test my strength.

Furthermore the system is taxing goods created for personal use as well. Many companies are just used for personal food and weapons and not for the free market. So Plato’s Work tax is taxing the basic needs and will stop new players from expanding.

The Problem
The Problem is rather simply, Plato has instituted a tax code that is based off wages. However the top paying wages are for q7 companies and not for simple raw material companies. So if you work in a Grain Company or a Cattle Company or a Fish Company for example, you are being forced to pay a tax as if you were going to receive a wage from a q7 company. This is ridiculous because we are being taxed on income that we will never get. I might make 50 dollars working in a q7 but if I work in a simply Raw Material I will never make a wage equal to what a pay in taxes. In fact you might lose money working in some companies.

What can we do?
In the mean time we must continue to rage against this despotic machine (Plato) because we are a world of free men confined by no one. Write articles and show your disgust.

Also if Pakistan wants to lower their work tax to 1 percent that would be awesome.

Affectionate Salutation,
Dr. Walter Bishop

p.s I was not planning to write this but, I had too.
Talk to you Monday.

newbie r not affecting by this coz they were paying 10% income tax, now 4 employees the name has been changed but it affect the employers who were not paying on production tho i am not defending that step but clearing the point that the main affected peoples r those who have employed peoples. the result would be very high prices for food weap & raw material.

do you realize that you are an absolute block head?. Nothing has changed for the employers, the change is for WAM. Players working for themselves, employers and employees have not been affected.
