  • Heroes of Might and Magic III, although I don’t think the game is bad.
    What’s bad is that there’s really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
    It’s a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times…
    For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.




  • Frankly said, whether they spend their money or not is their business. If they are involved in shenenigans like you described that needs to be regulated, because it sure looks like tax evasion.
    And regarding the proposed tax (quoting the linked article): “The Millionaire Tax will impose an additional 2% income tax on the top 1% in NYC, who are earning over $1 million per year”.

    So this tax in no way designed to tax their wealth, but merely their income by another measly 2%.
    Nobody will become poor because of this. Some income millionaires just become slightly slower even more rich than they already are.

    Have them move elsewhere and see whether they can keep their annual income in the millions there.
    I, for one, am willing to call their bluff.

    And once that is done, implement a wealth tax for the people who own x million USD.
    To keep them from freaking out, it can be as low as 5% annually, because that would still allow them to generate a net increase of their wealth.
    If they complain, increase the tax and start draining their fortune.
