I know some here play "Kingdoms of Camelot" on Facebook.  Interesting analogy came up:




The tax rate you set determines how much "gold" you accumulate, but decreases your happiness and population:




I bet some, like for instance someone who doesn't pay real world property taxes, would like to be able to click a button and set a new tax rate to increase their "gold"



Their happiness decreases when they acquire gold - and so does the population. But then, their "kingdom" will be the "empire".

Hint - in the real world, you'll never get the girl - and taxes will continue to skyrocket.

I'll have to find that.....funny....and eeerie.......

His peaceful town is full of drunken scum...
