CatholiCity is an oasis of water in a desert. We are helping Jesus save souls. When people put their money where there mouth is, they love it all the more, and feel like they're really supporting the city. It's like buying stock. Last year, we ended the construction phase and kept the maintenance and administrative workers.
Nobody expects a real city to function without taxes.
Taxes keep a city clean, well-policed, safe, and ensure the city services are delivered promptly and professionally. Unlike a secular city, CatholiCity has volunteer taxation, and that is insurance against bloating and inefficiency. There is no Utopia, even online. I love my wife. She's got a way with words.
