Message	This proposal is done mainly because I think, that nobody should pay the income tax higher tan 50 %. Even so, Stanton House do not like too much cut of those with high income. So I deleted my first proposal and I am proposing a second compromise, with a very light tax cut.

From	Skeptic Liberal Union
To	Debating the Income tax proposal of January 3733
Message	Everything has some logical borders. I think that ask somebody to pay e.g. 2/3 of his income as a tax is simply too much. Then hide the income is the only rational step (maybe this is not included to the game - I do not know, but this is how it is in reality). I would do the same, if I would be in such a situation. In my opinion, nobody should pay more than half of its income as a tax. (By other word - As it is moral to give some tax discount to poor, it is not moral to robe almost all the income from rich - some equilibrium should exist. Moreover - if everything will be robed from rich, then will be no rich any-more ... :) ) Back to the proposal: 62% of income tax for rich is more than enough. During our last governmant I lowered the tax also for poor, if there will be possibility to do that again, we could discus.
