    Nah it's pretty true to life, the rich go to jail for 3 turns, and then pays $50 to get out, unless they roll doubles and a friend pulls some strings. There is still a luxury tax, what do you think sales tax is? It doesn't really apply to the rich though because while they pay the tax, they can use legal loopholes to get it all back with their refunds. So just like the game, you only pay the tax until you land on free parking (because who really plays this game without that rule?)

    No one would be able to find it.

    Luxury tax is different from sales tax. They did away with luxury tax because it "only" raised 8.9 billion dollars in 3 years. They said it failed because it was supposed to raise $9 billion in 5 years, and it "clearly" wasn't going to succeed at that.

    That's just what they want you to think. Though personally I support sales tax over income tax, for reasons I won't go into in this thread because it deviates too close to things that might be better served in the taboo topics.

    That's the same reason I nuked my original reply and just cut it down to "It was a different thing that existed once".

    Also, look at the funny fucking post, not just the boring reply post that came before it.

    Thoughts on this list? It's pretty solid in my opinion. All You Need Is Kill (Edge of Tomorrow to me, I'll never call it anything else) is severely underrated as a recent film. Also, I never knew Soldiers was set in the same universe as Blade Runner.

    I still need to watch Enemy Mine.
    And I agree about Edge of Tomorrow. Even though I really don't like Tom Cruise as person, he does great job in EoT.
    Hopefully his self-importance doesn't completely ruin the sequel.
