Message | We are proposing a more progressive and multi-tiered income tax system. This is offered for discussion, so that the precise bands can be properly negotiated. We feel that it is important that the lowest earners pay less tax, but also that they pay at least some tax, in order to feel a part of the system. And that the highest earners pay a larger share of tax, because they can afford to do so. |

Date | 23:25:20, April 29, 2014 CET | From | Zemojad Prta (Labour Party) | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 3657 |
Message | This system will actually increase taxes for some of the poorest people in our society compared to the existing system (those earning 5-10k JEL paying 1% instead of 0%, those earning 20-25k JEL paying 10% instead of 5%) so we must vote against. |

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |

This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect |
