HEY CONGRESS! Have you read this!
Where is the analysis of the MU needs and of the evolution of country accounts ?
Why 16%? Do we really need 16%? How many MPPs? How much per soldier per day?
CPF : Where is the "non-partisan commission to examine the tax system and produce a recommendation"?
I think I'm gonna go shopping to Plattsburgh my friends!
---
Non, mais ça va faire &?%?$*&...
YOU-OU? LES CONGRESSISTES? Avez-vous lu ça?
C'est quoi la joke là? Vous lancez des chiffres en l'air juste pour le plaisir de la chose?
16% une fois, 16% deux fois, 16% trois fois, VENDU au petit monsieur moustachu derrière avec le t-shirt de Staline!
Combien de MPPs? Quel montant donne-t-on par soldat par jour?
Et qu'advient-il de la "commission non-partisane" du CPF?
J'en connais un qui va aller magasiner ses armes à Plattsburgh, OH que OUI!

And now, congress? What do you think? Do you see a correlation between VAT and daily income? Really?
Qu'est-ce qu'on fait avec la VAT? Voyez-vous une corrélation entre la VAT et les revenus quotidiens? Vraiment?

Why 16%? Do we really need 16%? How many MPPs? How much per soldier per day? x2
And what about buffering it with a small bump in Import tax, up to 5% for example, so that eCanadians don't have to pay a higher VAT. Might that work?
Yeah, I haven't read the discussion thread yet I hope they aren't voting on 16% already, since that would appear to be rushing a much larger discussion.
The proposal is a little early at the moment; jumped the gun so to speak.
CPF PP Randall is working on getting all the parties together to discuss a common consensus.
Considering our daily income is at an extremely low point:

No vote planned quite yet, still some debate to follow. Don't you worry!
Could you guys go ask other ''successfull'' how they manage their VAT and taxes to optimize their Market, damn it's getting f*ck*ng boring already!!!!!
What works for the USA, or Spain, or Poland, or any other country for that matter is largely irrelevant. It may serve as a good basis, but it all directly relates to country population, active citizens, and influence from other countries in terms of being out-produced and therefore having your market overrun.
The USA pulls in ~75,000 CC in daily income with relatively low taxes. Canada at that same rate would be one tenth the amount in daily income.
We may make one tenth the revenue of the american government, but our military is probably one tenth the size.
Pass the much need MU funding act first.
Wait till our CP and his administration come forward with an alliance for congress to vote on.
Then raise/lower my taxes.
How can we set a tax rate when we don't know what our expenses are???
The current proposal is a temporary measure to try and get some revenue in while the never ending debate continues.
As seen here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/vat-and-mu-funding-poll-results-2162347/1/20 a 15% rate was most favoured for weapons and a higher rate for food. The proposal is just following through on what the majority indicated they were in favour of
Homer, a poll that gathers people's anonymous opinions without giving them informed alternatives is hardly the best measure to make tax policy in this game, so please don't use it as a means to support a proposal. It's just not genuine. It'd be better for people in Congress to hash things out with real numbers and a real plan, rather than a % pollers simply believe to be right simply without any revenue/expenditure plan to justify it
The poll was good to raise discussion~not set policy
And regarding the poll, more people want a VAT lower than 15% rather than higher than 15%.
So why choose 16%?
TOTALLY ARBITRARY!
as is a VAT lower. Give them a chance to get started LOL. They have been in congress for how long?
Look at the debate on the forum
One day later, NOBODY has presented an analysis of the data we have. It is just "I think 15%", "I think 20%", "I think 25%". HEY! Look above here, I've prepared the graph for you!
NOBODY WANTS AN ANALYSIS OR A DEBATE!
The only thing congressmen want is a high VAT as soon as possible, and they don't really care if this policy hurts weapons buyers that are also good fighters for eCanada.
That's why I call you communists folks.
To be fair, I think the 10% VAT may have been equally as abitrarily voted for by Congress a month ago, yet I'd have to review the discussion thread to verify that suspicion.
The threat of a total wipe by Poland, with no access to the donate button for one month, had some impact in the decision.
To be more fair, Calling us Communists doesn't make much sense, how much of the Communist system are we actually following by raising the VAT to increase funding?
- The economy is lead by a few players that manage communes and goods production.
- Nobody believes in the virtue of free market, but almost everybody thinks that the government is better than us at managing the economy.
Communism in eCanada has strong roots and is not a recent phenomenon. Nobody remembers the famous MOI and its powerful leader CitizenB few years ago?
