Unless you're a country where the industry itself makes huge profits (i.e. oil), you pretty much have to take it out from taxes. I mean look at Sydney, Australia. Income tax is like 50%, and it's a pleasant place to live, if you can afford the houses and food.

There are places where taxes never existed, but they got colonized by countries with a stronger economy. lol history.

Pfft, I can't take american whines about taxation seriously; in Denmark you pay 30 - 63% of your total income in taxes, depending on said income (info)

There are still places where there are no taxes.  They're called log cabin in the backwoods of Arkansas surrounded by snares and pit traps.

If they want to tax you, they can come over and take the money themselves.  They won't know that there's a rusty-nail punji pit under the welcome mat until their feet have to be amputated.

Yeah, it's not exactly a love-nest, you won't be getting many ladies, but that third of your income you get back will pay for a lot of video games.

Oh, you'll need an income though, and that would require leaving your house of pain and getting a job.

Subsistence living, steal internet, pirate your games.  A man's life.

Best.  Attack Ad.  Ever.

H. G. Wells would've loved it.

Whoever decided coroners needed to be elected to office was a comedy genius.  Seriously, the only way for the competitors to distinguish themselves is in the way they handle dead bodies.  How could wacky comedy hijinks not ensue?
