    I hope all is well. Hope to see you back soon

    Nothing to worry about. I'll certainly check on the forums once in a while but I'll be nowhere near as active as I previously was. Thanks for your kind comment.

    To whom it may concern,

    I will be taking a break from Identity for an uncertain amount of time. So if you have any questions or concerns regarding the family, please PM @Frank as I would not be able to respond at an appropriate time.

    The way I'll have it is 

    3-5% for the lower class

    6-10% for the middle class

    and 10, 15, 20% for upper class.

     

    I like that. A little too low for the lower class in my opinion, but overall far better than what I've seen from other candidates.

    "Regulating Taxes on working people will not only bring more jobs but also putting more people in those jobs. A person who makes 8$ an hour gets taxed 5%,10% and even 15% and sometimes even up to but not limited to 35%. You take a middle class man who works 10 hours a day and makes 10 dollars an hour. He gets taxed 15% for his week of pay. He takes home 425$ or somewhere around there. That money could be going towards his house payments. His food. His utilities or even buying clothes for his children. Regulating taxes is the number one thing we need to work on. I want to lower the tax rate to at least 3% to give the lower/middle class man or woman that extra incentive to work harder for those promotions. A happy worker is a hard worker."

    And if that doesn't work out immediately ill raise it by only a couple of percent. I'm basing it off of the number of people and the jobs they'll be doing. So far I've managed to think up that it will work.

     

    3% tax to lower and middle class, got that. But unless I haven't been reading the right parts, you haven't talked about the top tax bracket.

    - Will the 3% tax be for lower and middle class only? If yes, what will the higher class tax be set at? What is the justification for this difference?- Yes, that is the plan. And the other classes will see gradual increases in their taxes due to their higher annual salary. The reason for this is to balance things out and have everybody paying fair taxes. I've seen this done before but on a smaller scale and it's worked perfectly for them. 

     
     

    So what's the top tax bracket taxed at?

    Any way @Calico you are linked to a Mafia. Why are you worrying over taxes when you will be tax evading so you don't have a logical right to say that ihat is insane. I am sure people could live off $550,00 per year. Here is proof that you are part of a Mafia. http://www.identityrpg.com/community/topic/2103-luprano-family/?page=4#comment-33646

    Just because I may or may not be affiliated with organized crime, doesn't mean I won't pay taxes. 

    What you should be worried about is people not taking kindly to you being very outlandish and immature as a candidate for Governor.

    I was wondering how gangs could be handled in the game. I know about the gang wars and such but what I was really wondering about is some of the more extremist gangs such as neo-Nazis and the Cartel. What I want to know about these gangs is how they would be handled in the confines of the game, like will the neo-Nazis have marches and hurt people and will the Cartel abduct people and try to get secrets out of them? Anyone feel free to talk about how this could/has been implemented into the game.

    Thanks

     

    Hopefully, all of that will be implemented. ESPECIALLY kidnappings.

    A conglomerate is not a unfair business practice, have you ever heard of Warren Buffet, he owns a company called Berskshire Hathaway, He is a billionaire and one of the richest men in the country. I implore you to do your research before posting about about the regulations and co-ordination of businesses if you really plan on being a regulatory agency.

     

    He's referring to Brett partnering up with us.

    In no way am I saying that the lower class will be eliminated. I'm simply stating that it will take the place of middle class metaphorically. Lower class is lower class no matter what. And when we are faced with inflation we adjust. We adjust for the inflation if we get any.

     

    Not too sure I understand, but whateva

    Well with better government spending and not wasteful spending we would seek out to raise the growth of our economy. Make it extremely stable so that people can make more money in usually low paying jobs. My goal is to make The Island rich and have everybody have money. That way we are in what I would call "The Golden Age" of our economy.

     

    Sure, but unless you're trying to achieve communism, there will always be a "lower class" whether they're making $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year. The threshold will vary, but there will always be people poorer than others. 

    I'm no economist, but if everyone was making $100,000+, that would only mean that the currency is facing inflation.

    That's my own opinion, I didn't say confirmed I said 'likely' being me assuming. I know which video is next which is why I assume that "point". They answered on the Q&A (13th January) that the next video will be on the gun stuff e.g. why my assumption is that it's just before module 1 or just after and before module 2 as it makes sense releasing the video on weapon mechanics before the "S.W.A.T. Module!"

     

    Get me?

     

    Got you, James.

    Next video will likely be before the 2nd module but maybe just after or before the social module releases. Now have patience, we all want to see the video and well a lot of us have been waiting for the game longer than most. We are patient so why can no one else ?

     
     

    How do you know this? I would assume there would be several more videos before any of the modules come out. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's unusual for Identity, but most companies have deadlines and dates for things, so normally, I'd expect a specific date for the next video, but I know better for Identity.
