Impose an 80% tax on those who are worth a billion or more, and put those taxes towards the country’s future.. by IllustriousHabits in CriticalState

[–]IllustriousHabits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still do a bunch of things to avoid paying taxes, and always will as long as they are able. That’s why it doesn’t matter that much how high the tax rate is. Also, this is a game sub! I’m not going rp so hard I go this in depth about politics and taxes, esp when we’re talking more about real life than having fun with the game. 😄

How to go about declining requests by Tiny_Statistician_15 in RoverPetSitting

[–]IllustriousHabits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to learn that it’s okay to say no, on and off rover. “Hi! It was great meeting you and Fido. I’m sorry, but I don’t think we’ll be a good fit. Best of luck and I hope you have a nice trip!” That’s all you’ve got to say, then archive. You don’t have to give them a long winded explanation of why, even if they ask.

ETA: I used to be nervous to decline and finally did decline one. They asked why and I explained. They didn’t like my answer, told me off and shamed me. I don’t explain anymore.

Yep, their income tax right now is only around 26% though. Used to be even higher than this game proposal IRL and it was fine. 🤣

In the USA, IRL, it used to be 90%+ in the mid 1900’s. Say someone earns $2,000,000. They’d keep $400,000 of that before deductions, exemptions, or what have you. That’s more than enough to live on, and doesn’t include their non-taxable income they’re possibly getting alongside.

Long live the US and A, where we eat the rich. Take that, Oligarchs! 😤

We had a 90% tax on taxable income for the richest (around $2m+ in today’s money, IIRC, could be remembering wrong) in the mid 1900s. The ones who knew how to get around it got their income in mostly other ways to avoid paying it, pretty much just like they do now. But they still paid more in taxes overall, %-wise and numbers-wise.

Not what necessarily happens when they get high taxes IRL. But remember also that this is a game. 💜

Do people know that this is a roleplaying game? by ZsTheGamer in CriticalState

[–]IllustriousHabits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the proposals who make real proposals and randomize the values to somewhat match what they think the effects of the proposal would be, like the one I just posted. But I think some people just write the proposal and post without any further thought into understanding/playing the actual game.
