An Opinion Of The Current Australian Actions As Of Late.
Benmaster
First article since 7 months. So here it goes.
First lets start with the "Liberation Of South Africa"
Now, if you read my previous articles you would know that i am Pro-Atlantis/Eden/Sol. Our (EDEN's) reason to attack is to "liberate" south Africa from Brazil/Argentina. This does involve us in the current worlds actions, but the reasons expand more then that.
A) The new resource module replaces diamonds(high in Australia and South Africa) with titanium needed for making military weapons. So securing these resources are crucial to the sustainably of the EDEN major alliance.
😎
The less regions that Phoenix has and the more regions that EDEN has makes the war effort in our favor, as such EDEN attacks occupied South Africa.
Two crucial reasons that will effect the military future of Australia.
Now one important issue about taxes.
3 words describe my mind on the issue... those are... WHAT...THE...FLIP?
Income tax = 15%
Import tax = 10% (except diamond, oil, iron,wood)
OK, now I'll probably get an essay written by some senator, which is what i want. Since i want to know the reason as to why it happened.
See, as i perceived 10% is a good tax for anyone. If we want to steal or take any money from anyone it should be from the FOREIGNERS. Now, I'm no congress member but I'm pretty sure that each day we're becoming more like the U.S.A in the actions that we partake in.
But SERIOUSLY? Australia's economy is going to go to shit, since foreign business will be able to compete with us more then our home manufacturers will be able to sell for us. Thus the crash in the salaries will make less income tax go into the treasury, making a bankrupt Australia.
I've even made a chart
Income tax increase > less salary > less money to spend on local business > foreign business come in and undercut prices(no import taxes to hamper there efforts) > less tax income to treasury > bankrupt citizens and government > vulnerability to economic disaster and military invasion.
Simple right?
All I'm suggesting is; Not lowering the income taxes. But increasing the Import taxes. something like 75% for grain and diamonds. 30% for manufactured good(99% for food). The other raw materials (oil, wood and iron) can stay the same considering that we only have medium.
As such my article is over, Vote and sub for more of the "Brotherhood Of New"'s opinion and informative articles...
KTHXBAI, Benmaster... The epic one 😉

Anyways, read my response: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/response-to-benmaster-on-taxation-1305271/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/resp[..]/1/20
Ben if you care to take a look, our economy has grown strongly since these tax changes were made.
Benmaster is right what we have though is a lag where foreign companies do not think its worth the 20 gold in case the gov raises tax again. It foreign companies decide that the tax is staying there for keeps, then we will indeed lose a lot of industry. I am sure the minister of finance is a swell guy and all, but the figures speak for themselves...
