| Message | This income tax system is far not ideal, but at least contain less strong steps between different levels of income. I decided to avoid too big changes but i believe this proposal is more rational and fair then the previous system. |

| Message | Yet even more evidence to suggest that the Grand Consul will fail to live up to their promise of providing "subsidies" to the poor. Instead we get a tax cut for millionaires. A disgrace of a Grand Consul! |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
