This just made me realize that after we fix our tax structure to tax capital gains and land more than labor we need to change the way the labor tax rate works. We shouldn’t be taxing on total income in my opinion, we should be taxing a rate off of your average hourly income.
So if you work in a factory and make $30 an hour and work 10 hrs overtime a week at 1.5 an hour that’s 85,800, or $33 an hour. But if you work salaried for 100k and work 65 hours a week you make $29.58 an hour. The salaried in this example should be taxed less than the hourly. I am not sure what the new rates would look like, but both the hourly and salaried person would have a lower effective tax obligation after we fixed the first two things.





















So now I am on the City of Dragons, so quite a ways into this elderling world… Does it ever come together? It seems so disjointed when you jump to the Six Duchies back to Bingtown between each trilogy. One place dragons, one place magic. Does the magic ever come to the traders? The Wit isn’t even mentioned south of Chalced.
