The Money Problem

[darthSaKi]

I think concerns that a progressive tax will kill incentive to be successful are a little alarmist and misguided. A progressive tax on monetary exchanges would not lead to the scenario where you go inactive and come back with your bank account zapped. Think of it like a sales tax, if you aren't buying things you aren't being taxed. I would not discourage players to be successful or work hard, the tax would simply take money out of the economy. Money, largely, which was introduced fraudulently. I don't understand where your fears are coming from, and the only source I can think of is that the layman's shallow fear of anything associated with "socialism" are being regurgitated on here. But please, if I'm mistaken and there is another well-founded point of view, do your best to lay out your reasoning in a clear argument. I am open to being convinced otherwise.
