Secondly, I think you do not understand anything about economics and discouraging basing. You fail to see the correlation between monopolising and competition in basing.
I'll get that right in your head. Monopolising is a problem that leads to the basing being non-competitive. Because of monopolising, gangs who want to base cannot get the bases, hence they are discouraged. This leads to non-competitive environment.
I suggest that taxes and regulations be imposed on monopolising gangs as a deregulatory measure so that we can get the competitveness up. It is a way to encourage basing by newer gangs when we restrain those who are overpowered. It is not a punishment for basing or playing the game, but a necessary intervention to make the basing sector more competitive, and based upon equality - where everyone gets their fair share of hours without any overpowered dominating force hoarding the bases.
I also suggested that the hours by experienced gangs be capped, which means that the taxes won't apply until they have hit the cap. The taxes are there to discourage these gangs from basing more, so as to allow other newer gangs to get the bases. I am not taking any of their freedom to base with the tax, because if they want to do so they can still do it at a price.
Taxes are not a punishment, it is a measure to achieve equality and maintain the competitiveness of the sector.
