[A4CP] Economy and Other Things You Probably Won't Like
Frodo Tea Baggins
So how do you rebuild an economy? Hmmmmmm. First you start to identify the problems. Taxes are obvious, you can't spend money you don't have. Sucks don't it. Raise taxes. Yea it'll seem like it hurts but that's how it goes, estimates have always shown 15% VAT is a must, there might be flucuations but it's what is required. Like it or lump it, you can't have anything without money, what must be done must be done.
Now for a long time a mistake has been made in eCanada. Every little flavour of the month Military Unit that pops up thinks it is entitled to funding. Overall few have proved fruitful in the long run (I said few, TCO you are an exception, my apologies). Let's get straight down, cause some hate towards myself and speak honestly. There should be only one national army. A country of this size can really only afford one, the place where new players feel welcome if they choose to go to the gov't for their start. Militias will always exist and we shouldn't shun them, however it should be clear that starting up on your own makes you a different object.
Not everyone wants to follow the same path and I can't blame them, I'm not attacking you, but I am saying there should be responsibility for it. We do want to work together and funding to militias should exist when we have the money to do so. A militia is however not a gov't organization and should have a different burden of proof.
Any type of fighters should be under a commune system to require less funding. It's a must gov't or militia. Refusing to commune means you don't deserve the supplies, thank you and good day. All fighters are under order to obey orders if they wish to recieve funding, don't like that, good-bye. Militias started by private individuals may request funding if it's available by submitting proof of communing, following orders and well generally being active for the country, however the goal of a private militia sould always to become self substaining. A plan to achieve the infastructure you require as such should be shown.
Next let's look at MPP's, lots sounds good right? Not always. As back in January running a broke country I inherited, we have to look at money for value. Who supplies us with fights, who actually helps. When in economic hardship value for you dollar means something. It may seem mean to say to some no go away, but sometimes things need to be done. Like it or lump it.
Let the haters hate.
Your Goddess,
Aeriala

So when you say there should be one national army...are you saying you're going to try to achieve that? Or is it merely a thought that has passed through your mind?
If Aeriala is going for CP.
Toad is too!
Economic rhetoric is sadly inaccurate; raising the VAT will have virtually 0 impact regarding the resolution of current deficit situation.
I like the idea of one core, National Army.
However, I also like idea of private MU's. Are you implying that all of the private MU's that require funding, work in this "National Army's" communes / contribute to them, until a time occurs that they are sufficient enough to break away and stand on their own?
This could work, providing that all infrastructure upgrades are logged to show progress is being made.
Of course, I'm not supporting you. No chance in that. 😃
No, militias can commune for themselves, they should have their own supply systems, however if they wish funding they should be working to become self reliant, funding should not be equal to what may disappear tomorrow though
"As back in January running a broke country I inherited, we have to look at money for value."
You mean back in January of 2011?
This is the term you did such a terrible job running the country that you placed 3rd in the February election. Throwing a fit, you moved to the UK, and tanked against us.
Is that the Presidential term you're referencing in the article?
Not to be confused with your Sept'11 term during which you earned a Forum and IRC ban (as President), then ran to the eUS.
"...estimates have always shown 15% VAT is a must."
Please reference your source and cite the countries, with similar demographics to eCan, that experience success with it.
"Every little flavour of the month Military Unit that pops up thinks it is entitled to funding"
This is false. They must meet criteria and only active members factor into funding.
"There should be only one national army"
Half-truth. There should be a single chain of command, not a single MU or in-game group
"...the goal of a private militia sould always to become self substaining."
Man, Captains of Industry (COI) was so far ahead of its time when you think they did this 18 months ago. Now people campaign on these principles like it was their idea. COI was not the first to think of it, they weren't even the first to act on it, but they were the first in eCanada to think of it, act on it, and LIVE it every day.
"let's look at MPP's"
Agreed, need value for the scarce dollars
18 months ago CoI decided to be self sufficient, then 17 months ago they started getting funding from the Gov't.
So can I say welcome back. So aeriala comes to Canada just for the presidency even after he was the worst CP in Canadian history.
@Muggsy
It was more like a 6 month gap in-between, and members were encouraged to sell their weapon supply for cash to invest in their self-supply network. Until you are self-sufficient in this game, you are losing.
Tabarnaquement, you're not joking about this bid.
You said in your ealier article: "will congress disagree with me. Guaranteed, I won't even joke about it they will dislike me. It's not the first time I've faced that however so I can deal with that. It's normal procedure right?"
So, how will you be able to change the VAT to 15%?
good point max, but when the money runs out, what do you do? 🙂
FIST
Canada + Aeriala = ???
You guys don't commune already? wtf
you could of titled it "Economy and Aeriala" and saved yourself some space
"You guys don't commune already?"
Every MU already communes.
Aeriala just has no idea what he's talking about.
"....but they were the first in eCanada to think of it, act on it, and LIVE it every day."
I seem to recall a little group started by Bruck that had pitsbefore CoI was even a twinkle in it's mummy and d'Addy's eye
As for Aeriala, I thought a bad smell had wafted in over eCan. Now I know why.
What Homer said, also if you elect this "man" as president then you will see our relations drop to the gutter.
don't do it.
Your Post is Bad and You Should Feel Bad
Not again... Don't elect him/her/it/whatever. Bad idea.
Need a new CP, why not Tyrael?
