Well, if people want to have perks like that, they need to be "Cheapskates" or "Debtors", or something that involves evading your taxes. It is illegal for a political figure to do that, more less everybody else, and it is immoral, and supposedly going to be legalized in metropolis. If something is Illegal in real life, the purpose of "City RP" is to follow the same terms.

The Senators and Lawmakers do not get into office just to cut taxes for themselves, because if they do, they're voted out. Look over this realistically, and maybe you'll find a loophole into this certain situation, but the overall plan needs to be worked on. Discuss
Happy 69!!

What the forget are you talking about? I said tax cuts. Diplomatic immunity would be stupid and not applicable on our server.

The tax cuts aren't an illegal perk. Idea is that if someone is a diplomat or ambassador, they're allowed to live in that given country for cheaper since they're on official duty. These are the laws of Metro, not the US or some real country.

This is what I was trying to say, Metro Rp is it's own country in a way, in what real world country do people run around with flame throwers torching entire cities?
A roleplaying game does not need to simulate the real world.

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY in my terms is the avoiding of something because you're in a Political position. Avoiding a warrant of arrest, avoiding a parking ticket, avoiding a TAX payment, it's all Political Perks.
TAX CUTS on a person working for the country they live in doesn't make any sense either, because the way you're putting it, they should only have tax cuts in FOREIGN countries. It's one town. Tax cuts for 1 person in 1 town isn't fair, everybody should have tax cuts, or it is a POLITICAL PERK. Like I said, put this into the position of a Peace Maker, a Debtor, a Cheapskate, I don't care, but this doesn't make any sense.
Don't take this argument personally, by the way, because this whole tax thing isn't a big deal anyway, it's just not in the right position.
