    CAPITAL GAINS TAX

     

    MCCAIN

     

    0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

     

    OBAMA

     

    28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

     

    DIVIDEND TAX

     

    MCCAIN

     

    15% (no change)

     

    OBAMA

     

    39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

     

    INCOME TAX

     

    MCCAIN

    (no changes)

     

    Single making 30K - tax $4,500

    Single making 75K - tax $18,750

    Married making 60K- tax $9,000

    Single making 30K - tax $8,400

    Single making 50K - tax $14,000

    Single making 75K - tax $23,250

    Married making 60K - tax $16,800

    Married making 75K - tax $21,000

    Married making 125K - tax $38,750

    Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!

     

    INHERITANCE TAX

     

    MCCAIN

     

    - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) < /div>

     

    OBAMA

     

    Restore the inheritance tax

    Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

     

    NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

     

    New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last, but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

    This country was founded on Biblical principles. And you see where that got us? IMO when this country started stepping away from those, the country started to plunge downhill to where it is now.

     

    Thats just my opinion.

    FYI: When you post novels on forums, most people skip over them. Summarize your post in a paragraph or 2, not a novel please.

     

    I agree with some of the points mentioned. Drops do suck nowadays. Most people pvp just because its not worth it to monster train anymore. They pvp using less essences/pots and making the same if not more exp/hour. Pkers do no have any source of income. I make maps/def files during my free time for guild maps just so I can have some sort of income, if it wasnt for that, Id be BROKE. I've pondered the economy of EL the past few weeks and it seriously needs a changing. I made an alt and he cannot make a profit at all unless he does everything himself including harvesting etc. Im not an economy specialist or w/e the f*** they are called so I'm not even gonna try to tell you how to fix it.

    fyi, a/d doesnt 100% revolve around pk, k? k.

     

    Umm maybe I'm mistaken but I didnt say it did? And if maybe you should look in the f***ing mirror about what you just said.

     

    I also think there shouldn't be a 100 a/d arena, thats just going to make even less PK for those in the Top50-70 ranked players.

     

    Good point but also works for everyone. With the introduction of 40-80 capped arena's there are in theory less ppl to PK for Top 200-100 ranked players, unless you always want to fight people stronger than you, so for me there is only one solution: Make more capped arena's OR get rid of all of them

     

    Temp made a good point the Radu should think about the pkers..... very true , but all pkers not just the top 50.

     

    Note: :P players keep going on about :" O poor newbs crying that they get killed by pkers 20+ a/d higher", well crying works both ways, so if us newbs are crying then some (some not all) "pr0's" are just as guilty " omg I wont have any n00bs to kill and might have to actually fight someone my own strength".

     

    So how about stopping trying to flame each other and answer Radu's post in a sensible constructive way.. hopefully not a to hard thing to do

     

    I'd much rather fight someone around my strength, the problem is, no one around my strength wants to fight me....... Pretty stupid eh? There is but a handful of people around my levels that ever fight me. Back again to grow some balls and go pk theory.

     

    And everyone goes on the fact that if someone thinks they cant win, why go in? To my comprehension of fights....the basic ending in almost every battle is that 1 person wins....1 person loses. I think thats how it goes, pls pls correct me if I'm wrong. The way it is now...1 person sits in the arena with 20 others outside (or sits in kf while 20 others piled at entrance). I guess they dont understand if they try to work together they could take someone above their levels. Strategy is key.

    Is it possible to make a no drops arena or PK map ? I have no idea if thats possible, but seeing as during the last NDD invasion , everybody went PKing , I think if you want more PK then a No Drops PK map or a few arenas might help.

     

    People would be in there 24/7.

     

    1) It would eventually become old and the map will be as TD is now. NDD's are not often and when they do come, they are special.

     

    2) Ent loses bricks. WTF would you wanna make him do that for?

    To think of a way to make pk alive again, I have no idea but I am almost sure that making these capped arenas will not do it. I agree with ohmygod with his point on the higher levels >100. Whats the point of us leveling up if all the pk is going on in capped arenas?

     

    Im skeptical about the only 1 pk map idea because tbh, i only think that may put a bandage on the problem only for pk to become dead again later on.

     

    And tbh, if you look at pk, it isnt all that dead. It isnt as alive as it was once before but its not dead either. The only thing wrong is that people dont have the balls to go in. People sit around/ourside a pk area all day long but never enter the arena. Thats what makes pk appear dead.
