How rich are you?

[Highland Laddie]

have enough to play my role here...

Exactly.

I realize many of you may come from more Socialist or even former (or current) Communist states...so the idea of accumulating wealth may make you uncomfortable, but I'm very confused by this notion of "too much wealth" and "too many credits" etc.

A lot of people earn their money one way or another, or they had some given to them. In the case of the former...why wouldn't they be entitled to keep what they've put the work into earning? And in the case of the latter....who is to say who should be in charge of telling you what to do with your money?

Are we gonna start having Estate Taxes here on Disco? Maybe just wipe out everyone's money, altogether? Then what? People will work hard again (probably more power-trading than anything else...which everyone loves *sarcasm*) to make their money...only to have people whine about how much money they have and then we're back where we started.

Other thing to consider: people can put more time/effort into RP when they're not grinding to get the ship/equipment they want.

Otherwise, why bother doing ANYTHING at all if someone is just gonna complain and you'll see all your time/effort thrown out the window?

Final thought: If you feel guilty about how much money you have...why don't you start giving it away, instead of trying to make everyone feel as guilty as you do? Charity is a good thing.
