Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.
So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....
"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..
this means very little since i am not privy to how the system works, but it does not appear to work as i would expect.
when i see a thread that is clearly a duplicate, i report it. i then suspect that some mod will see the report (and possible many additional reports from other users), examine the thread and notice that it is a duplicate (some time this is patent since there are frequently 2 threads on the same topic on the same page of optimatch), and then lock the thread.
but, this is not what i see happen more often than not. it seems that duplicate threads rarely get locked.
i also notice that some members frequently make posts that clearly violate the rules. for example, let's suppose that legendary member X makes many posts that attack the playing skill of other players and makes various rude remarks. when i stumble upon these, i report them, and i notice that this member has made many inappropriate posts along these lines. since i suspect that mods are looking at these posts, i expect that something will be done, and i realize that a warning could take place. then, a few days later, i see another attack against another user. i report it, and since i suspect that a warning has already been issued for the very same offense, i suspect to see this member's posts deleted as a result of a ban. but, this does not seem to happen, and the next thing you know, i see that same member attacking another member without interruption.
i realize that i am ignorant of what happens to reported posts, but, from my perspective, it seems that many offenders receive no punishment, and it seems that the rules are applied inconsistently. i suppose that i will continue to report inappropriate posts and look to see if repeat offenders actually get banned. just today i have seen and reported a number of posts that break the rules, in one case, a member made multiple personal attacks against another user in the same thread. heck, there is even a rude posts in this thread. i am eager to see if any of those posts get deleted as a result of a ban, or if any member titles are removed as a result of a warning.

It does work; it just doesn't work how you'd like it to (it's actually better).
