First I would like to thank the citizens of eIreland for voting Ethel for CP. We did an excellent job serving eIreland last month, and I am sure that we will do an excellent job this month as well.
Now, you may have noticed two Tax bills being voted upon in congress right now, and it looks like they will not pass. Needless to say, I am disappointed in this lack of congressional unity. At the behest of our CP, I reviewed our current tax system, and saw that we were behind our 80k CC a month goal to afford MPPs. I did NOT want to increase the Work Tax, so I proposed increasing the VAT on food and weapons only to 5% in order to get monthly income to a safe level.
Hyperbolic claims by the opposition, saying that such a minimal tax increase "crushes" eIrish businesses, have probably led to the bill's demise, and I am saddened by this.
eIreland has long been dependent on the goodwill of private citizens to continue existing. All of our CO money comes from private citizens, for example. What the current administration wanted to do is achieve relative financial independence for the eIrish state by reducing the number of MPPs to 8 and by slightly increasing taxes just enough to be able to pay for all of them. Instead, we may now have to reduce the number of our MPPs even further, a detriment to eIrish military security. Otherwise, the eIrish state would still be dependent on private citizens to pay for routine gov. activities.
Although I was hoping for a minor legislative victory to start the new term as your Taoiseach, it appears I won't have such a victory.
In any case, I will soon start on my next project: organizing the military of eIreland, along with potential national coordinated strikes.
Thank you,
VP Trito Fisher

Good luck Ethel, Trito and the crew o/

As stated in the congress threads, if your 'great' training war agreement with Peru included taxes back, that would equal the bulk of this tax increase. Also worth noting is the fact any tax increase means Peru earns more money.
And why do we need MPPs, after all you said Peru will save us when you talked about NEing a neighboring nation, after all, aren't we now in your eyes a vassal state of Peru?
It's not like Peru gave Ireland much of a choice.
It depends on who in the gov speaks about it
As I said in Congress
If the gov is short on money (and as no accounts have been provided other than your guestimates on the back of a fag pack) the maybe the MoC can run another bogus donation drive... remember that people. If you donated best forget it
As usual, the harbingers of doom jump in immediately. Gotta love Irish unity.
Sorry, I thought congress was for discussion, people discussed and instead your cabinet cried 'multis' and now your VP releases an article that reeks of 'doom and gloom' for voting No to a tax increase.
If your so hard up for cc (even though your willing to throw it on COs for battles for allies), I am more then happy to help and donate money for MPPs when they come up. After all I would hate for you to think anyone who might disagree with something is not after Irish unity.
that's a very kind offer and the eIrish community gratefully accepts.
how many MPPs can the eIrish ppl put Rusty D down for this month?
How many do you want Sweet?
But I think the better question would be how many does eIreland want and not a list of countries that are being forced to be voted for.
no one is "forcing" you to do anything!!!
you can't "force" someone to do anything in an online game.
Vote for whatever you like, propose whatever you like, I don't care!
Propose what ever I want and you don't care. Well going from your shout, you care about WHS proposal.
Vote for what I want and you don't care, your article gives a different ring to that
V!
Good luck, Trito!
