line the poor up and have them fed to the nunas. if you can't make credits in this game, you are:
a) not trying
b) stupid
c) lazy
d) all of the above
either way, line em up.

Maybe we should start teaching money management classes as part of our HELPER mode.

Oh- I love this idea. Perhaps we could introduce progressive tax tables also so those filthy rich Armorsmiths, Weaponsmiths and Shipwrights could repay their debts to society.

That's because those of us that are filthy rich actually did something to make all that money. We all started out poor and worked our way up and you can do it as well.

why would you give your hard earned money to some one who asks? do you do that in real life?
if i see someone begging for money, i take a sec (if they are not spamming constantly, in which case, i ignore them) and point them towards mission terms, tell them about the newb quests in the droid, etc. if they seem sincere, i might give them some cash. ppl in my guild that need something, not a problem.
but, just because someone has more than you does not mean you are entitled to the same. everyone starts the game equal, where you go from there is up to you.

Can I get 1M on Gorath? 100k isn't that much. That won't even buy me some nice composite. And I'd like some "walking around money" too.
Could you also come to my house and move my mouse around and mash the F2 key for me?

Really you don't need welfare, because you can make the money that you need very easy. I can make about 50k just surveying every hr, and about 200k afk looting(you dont have to have a master to do this). When I started I just did survey missions and took 2 mission in the same direction and made a nice amt of cash in 1hr. Common people its not that hard really.
Look at this guy's sig. He has started his own newspaper. Ownage, you totaly rule. I will put that on my long list of things i wish i had thought of first. So what skills does it take to make your own newspaper? Ummm, intelegence, ambition and followthrough? Oh ya, don't forget the e-mail system. Hmmm, everyone can use that too. I guess if you can't make your own newspaper, you are lacking one of these (ambition and followthrough in my case). If you are poor in this game, IT IS DEFENENTLY YOUR FAULT!

Let's get the Galactic Travel Commission to pick up the tab on this one.
