Random number generator for those games when I just don't care at all about my economy
It works rather differently in AHD, so make sure to stick to the unexpanded Vic2 to start with if you want to see that effect.Sorry for OT, but that sounds so much like the modern Russian policies, that I shall get Vic2 ASAP (next sale).
All 100% all game, as I hardly ever research the tax efficiency techs.
Doesn't anyone think the Buffet Rule for taxes is a good idea in the game as well in real life? Make the rich pay at least 30% in taxes. They can afford it and to spare.
Just because they can afford it doesn't mean they should be taxed that much...Victoria 2 models the situation pretty well. If you tax the capitalists 100% all game, they can't build any shiny new gun factories; if the real-life rich people and businesses can't stay solvent, you have the bureaucrats step in, which is bad for everybody. Taxing someone extra because they make more money is already inherent when you tax by percentage of income; a government has no need to tax the wealthies' income more, because they already get a larger sum of cash from them than they could get from any poor man.
That being said, in-game I tax everyone as much as possible unless the ruling party is anarcho-liberal, or unless I need some quick infrastructure and factories under a non-state-capitalist party, in which case the rich absolutely love my government, because they are tax-free for as long as they are useful
But since there are more poor people, as you see in Vic II, the same rates for all classes mean most of the taxes are taken from the poor.
Does any of you guys actually have money problems at all? Even when im playing uncivilised countries I tend to not worry about money at all, simply because I make multiple thausands of profit all the time, how come money is just not important when this game is supposed to be about economy management?
To be fair, it probably shouldn't make as much sense economically to set taxes to 100% as it actually does.....I mean you're taking ALL their income.
Tax rate is 100% but actual tax is much lower, like 25% starting. As you research the tax techs eventually you turn the slider down.
Bleed population dry = no money to leave, I'd think.
