New taxes....

Okay, so just incase we weren't already paying enough taxes here in the good old US of A….we now may be taxed for virtual assets. Yes, my "Sword of a Thousand Truths" will count as taxable property upon my death.

Haha, I just love living in a tax haven!

Sweden has among the highest taxes in the world, but it is repayed in many ways. We have good free schools, free hospitals, free dental visits until we're 18, child benefits, student grants and lots of other things. Taxes are often good, because they help people. Also we don't spend as much money as the US on our military forces… :p

But taxing game items? Pff… Sounds like a joke. I hope they won't ^^

The problem is that people are making a living out of playing these games and the government want to take their money in taxes because the are not admitting to the income all the time
