.... High taxes as much as they love David Hasselhoff. Just curious, but is there a specific reason for this? Of course I'm talking about in EVE. Every time I check out the info of a German corp, they have a super high tax rate - by that we're talking in the 15% or greater. Their POCOs always have even higher rates, even I've seen some in the 30% bracket.
The POCOs I really don't understand, since every one that I was operating out of that were took over by Germans I've packed up shop and left, one would think it would be more beneficial to have a lower rate to attract more PI people to a system rather than a high one to drive them off - unless one is going for some sort of area domination here, but I don't see much of a push for that.
The corps too, seem really onerus on individual players. Do German corps have a lot of publicly funded benefits? Are they way more socialist (and that's not necessarily a bad thing) in their operation? Do German players cooperate more than your average EVE corps? Inquiring minds must know! |

Saw the topic and my mind went straight in the gutter.
Its probably for the best that this thread didn't turn out the way I expected, as something like that would be edited and locked by the ISDs pretty quick. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Your OP somehow suggest that the taxes are used to support David Hasselhoff?

Confirming that EVE Online needed another David Hasslehoff thread... and that socialists love taxes, in those immortal words from a Rolling Stone magazine article that once reported on the Swedish social system: " ... from erection to ressurrection."
"Psssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh" -á-- That ambiguous and pseudo-technical term used by management to describe to staff how frakking cool something looks inside their own heads.

Germans love functional infrastructure. A corp that is too poor to fund ops and replace ships is GǪ inefficient. Nothing annoys more than inefficiency.
Having said that: RL German tax rates are higher than those in some English-speaking countries. This presumably influences the perception of what a reasonable tax rate is in general. |

So the German corps own all the POCO's and charge outrageous taxes, and the American Corps own all the Carriers and Cap ships needed to defend them.
So exactly what do the Germans spend all that tax money on if it isn't defense?
These German corps aren't in an Alliance called NATO are they? |

So that's a traditional Bavarian sausage made from minced veal and fresh pork back bacon with mustard (Senf). Sounds good.
I actually went out for a day with a Bavarian in Crete, nice girl. Bavarians come across as quite proud though. This one didn't consider herself German, but Bavarian.
Kind of like me not considering myself British, but English. |
