A Vegan Program for Congress. Choose Belgium Communist Party!

1. Min wages! Currently min wage workers can not buy food daily. First order of business should be to solve this and make an end to the starvation of our citizens.
To create a fair min wage I suggest that every time food goes up min wages go up.
Min Wage = (cheapest food available at the market / 😎
+ 0.02 BEF
So currently the min wages should be set at (1.87/😎
+ 0.02 = 0.25 BEF an hour
2. State raw companies abroad
Instead of making foreign companies rich and making our national companies poor we should invest in foreign raw companies under eBelgium state supervision. An end will come to over-expensive raw prices, finally the foreign suppliers will have to lower their price to a more fair one. This should have been done ages ago!!!!!! We would not have had the massive unemployment we have now if it had been done at the start or before v2.
3. Protect our basic industries
Currently the food price is to high as we are to dependable to foreign countries. Our own grain and food industry has to be protected. Lower income taxes so jobs in the food industry become more interesting. Higher import taxes to protect us of being dependable of foreign countries or even worse a player who does not have the best interest for eBelgium in mind.
4. Stop the devaluation of the BEF
Because of the high price of gold less new companies are started. Less jobs are available and our economy doesn't grow. Bring the value of gold back to 50 - 55 BEF
These are some things I stand for and if elected I will fight to get these changes applied.
Everyone should be able to buy bread and not only in a perfect world (like our president said).
Please vote for A Vegan if you want something to change and get more out of the game!

Good luck my Marxist comrade!
Fair enough, atleast you came up with a program...
Although...
1- Your min wage ratio... is based on what? (Have you looked at other countries?)
And what about the min wage when food prices would drop? Would the min wage drop aswell?
2- How would you protect your state raw companies' intrest abroad? Or are you ignoring all the wars, which would effect the import...
Good luck
1. Clearly we would have to set a min min wages (what would mean it never can go below that). This could be set every 2 months or so.
But yes food prices and min wages should be a constant.
2. How are our current import companies protected? (specially those who we helped with paying the licences)
State companies abroad can never be a bigger risk than companies from foreign citizens who do not care about Belgium.
Thanks for the wishes. I'll need it 🙂
Good Luck my friend!
I am very interested in the idea of state raw companies abroad.
My only question is how you plan to keep the value of the BEF up if we raise the minimum wage? Raising the minimum wage by nature encourages the value of the BEF to fall and also encourages the price of goods on the market to increase. How do you intend to compensate for this?
And good luck, btw. You make congress interesting!
Thanks!
As for keeping the value of the BEF. I agree that's a difficult issue. I do think one of the reasons why it is as high is because of the massive amounts of foreign investors. If we make the raw industry more competitive less foreign companies will have to dump their BEF.
Although we will need more to get it back to a decent rate it is already a good start.
Good luck to you. A voice of dissent is always needed to keep any government honest.
You have interesting ideas, and Congress has been less vocal since you left.
I take exception to your mischaracterization of my statements, I said that your formula would only work in a perfect world, not that people would be able to eat. We have the state companies and a welfare system (citizen.info) to ensure our babies can eat until they are productive. This system is intended for the short time a new player is a burden to our economy, not as a permanent way to employ the entire country.
Attempting to control the economy is like herding gerbils, it takes a lot of time, causes a lot of pain and in the end, you find can't control everyone.
I don't know economics from my elbow, but A Vegan has kept me afloat here. You'll always get my vote! (as long as I can figure out when/where to vote)
And let's leave the gerbils alone! 😛
We have 27 congress candidates... LMAO. You shouldn't have waisted that much money on advertising xD but still, nice article.
