My Thoughts About The 2% Tax
I'm posting in my journal because not many people read this which is good because I'm going to end up pissing people off.

Now I agree with the idea that the 2% tax sucks. Gaia is living up to the horrible insults I read about everywhere, "A greedy money hungry organization." They think by causing a 2% tax to the sellers, less people will sell MC and so more people will have to by them.

But then again I don't think Gaia is that dumb, they most know that people buy MC's to earn gold and this would actually make them lose money. So I think they must really care about "inflation."

So, I am suggesting, you're all going to hate me, that there should actually be a 2% sales tax on the buyers. This would cause people to buy less, not sellers selling less. With sellers not having as many buyers they will have to go down in price. And then buyers would have to be more responsible about their money. Responsibility, hmm…Because lets face it, people are dumb it has to affect them in order to understand what’s going on.

In reality most economists believe in leaving the market alone, no Government intervention. (Most are Rep.) But this is not reality and this is a land full of kids. Although I think our Gaian Economist is retarded (and a Democrat which make him something unspeakable), Gaia is making some kind of attempt to solve this problem; we will just have to watch it fail.






Another United States of America Yea!

I do agree with most of this except for the part that people will sell at lower prices because of less buyers, because marketers will try to get around the 2% tax by selling at higher prices to actually get a profit. But then again, who knows what will happen. Only time will tell...

There would be less buyers because we are taxing them.
Hehe I know cruel.
