[QUOTE="nameless, post: 52799, member: 1543"] It is really ridiculous how little labor is valued compared to its products. For an example that actually happened in a game I played, our party (with way too much deus ex machina help) beat a dragon in its lair and used the (lower than usual amount, for a dragon) treasure to buy an entire country. We then paid off that countries' debts, and lowered taxes enough that all the citizens able to move to our new country would do so. To top it all off, we threw a huge festival to let everyone know how great our new country was. And we still had enough in the bank to finance the country for years without charging any taxes. After getting a giant population with a huge agricultural base, we raised an army and conquered all the countries where the commoners originally hailed from. All of this financial power was lying in a cave guarded by an overgrown lizard. It's just not right. -nameless [/QUOTE]
