Any government, big or small, has to have resources to run on. I think we all agree on that. It appears there is talk within the Imperium of taxes, and the only way I can see this being successful is if it is done at the militia level.
For us, this does not matter as we have already decided that we will be contributing to the alliance as a whole. I wanted to post those details.
- I will be collecting donations from members of Wessex. These will go into a bag I have labeled "Donations".
- Every week I will tabulated what is in this bag, and post the balance.
- I will then take 80% of the donations in this bag and pass it on to the Imperium. The remaining 20% will go into a bag named "Wessex".
- The contents of the Wessex bag will be used for our Militia, and hopefully, for our clan "The Duchy of Wessex".
- The balance of the "Wessex" bag will also be posted weekly.
- I would recommend that everyone donate based on your own conscience. I am going to imposing a 25% tax on myself for the donations bag, which I will also tabulate weekly.
