[quote=walterwhite]Something has to be done about the income tax space. Recall it’s 10 percent or max 200. So there’s my damned wealthy middle kid with thousands of dollars and hotels and stuff, and he’s paying probably a 6 percent tax rate, and there I am with a few hundred bucks paying 10 percent.[/quote]
Simple…We also need to include element of presidential policy. So if you land on income tax OR if you land on luxury tax, the new rules should be
1) Roll a single dice.
a) If the number turns out to be even, the Republicans are in charge, so this means
*the “wealthy” pay no income taxes, no luxury taxes
*upper middle class pays 35% taxes (no cap)
*middle class (union or non union) people pay 10% or $200 max
*poor get nothing
b) If the number turns out to be odd, the Democrats are in charge, so this means
*the “wealthy” pay no income taxes, no luxury taxes
*upper middle class pays 50% taxes (no cap)
*non unionized middle class people, pay 5% or $100 max
*unionized middle class pay 1% or $50 max
*poor people get a $500 subsidy
In either case, if you’re upper middle class, you’re fvcked either way…just like in the real world…
I think we also need to include an element of outsourcing and walmart.
So if you land on Walmart, you are forced to send 5% of your income to an entity called “China”
… And if you pick up an “you’ve been outsourced” chance card, you can only collect your 40% of your go money in the next 5 passes of “go”…..On the 6th pass, you don’t get to collect any go money until you get a chance card that says either
(a) “you’ve successfully been hired again”, which you get your full ‘go’ money back
OR
(b) “congress has extended your unemployment benefits”, in which you can collect 40% of your go money from any other player still collecting “go” money and paying into the system.
