Are you seriously running for President?

A reader asks me:
"Are you seriously running for president? Are you being serious with this run?"
So I wrote him back this..........
Hi, I know I probably have no chance in hell of winning, so I'm just gonna state my ideas and be politically incorrect. If people like what they have, they can vote for that.
If they want war, security and lower taxes, they can vote for me.
Today for example we didn't have any wars, why? This is the perfect time to attack England or Russia. We have Alaska under our posession yet we're not launching any attacks from there, instead we are letting PEACE raise money to launch another attack against us.
People say I'm wrong, yet what do I see? I see foreign companies paying low taxes to sell products in America while American companies pay high taxes. In Hungary the import tax is 99% while in America is 1% (5% in 2 categories I think). Why? Guns are no longer expensive, food is virtually free, only housing remains expensive yet while the government has started companies that make guns they don't have companies that make houses.
So these are the ideas I bring to the table, whoever wins can take them under consideration.
1. Lower our income tax to 10%. Increase the import tax to 30%
2. Launch attacks against England and Russia.
3. Create House companies and sell Q3 Houses for $200 (5 gold), and Q1 Houses for $40 (1 gold). While supplies last of course.
4. Get rid of the VAT, this isn't Europe.
Anyway, thanks for writing.

@sjohnfsdxzzx
it's a training war not a real war, it is only to help both our countries' citizens gain xp and maintain a high wellness

Thanks CEOincorp. I would also like to add that while wars with Ireland helps us develop experience, real security can only come after we occupy several states.
Look at it this way, why did Israel occupy the Golan Heights? Simple, the Sirians allowed Hezbollah to launch rocket attacks from that region. So, if you occupy that territory after a bunch of arab countries launch a war against you, then you accomplish two things 1. You teach the arabs not to f-ck with us or you'll lose territory. 2. You create a buffer zone so that their rockets don't reach Tel Aviv.
The same applies to America, right now Alaska, Hawaii, and several states are vulnerable to attack from Peace. Look at Maine, Wales and South West of England can attack Stephen King's state at any time. So why not conquer them? That way PEACE will have to conquer Wales first, which will give us enough time to either win that battle or protect Maine for another day.
Not too long ago I had the unpleasant experience of waking up under soviet occupasion in New York. Now while some of my ancestors come from russia and I find the russians to be very sexy, white and pale, I do not want to be ruled by Russia outside of the bedroom. So unless a Russian is gonna be riding my you know what, I say nyet to the russians and da to America!
it's more like a combination of imperialism and internationalism
(strong sided but for the better)
do u know why we got invaded an almost destroyed? because we attacked neighboring countries like france, russia, portugal and mexicoand i knew it was a training war
and rl😕= erep
Hey sjohnsdsxzzx (couldn't you get a more complicated name? Just kidding), there are many reasons why we got invaded.
1. Anti-Americanism in the real world occurs in eRepublik (ask eIsrael, they have wars with Turkey just because the arabs get a hardon everytime they conquer the jews. LOL).
2. There's plenty of gold to plunder in eUSA.
3. Wars keeps citizens entertained.

I would love to know how we will pay for the invasion of the UK and Russia, when we cut our income tax revenue in half.
Not to mention we need to get the permission of our Alliance to attack.
Don't forget we have to pay 100g for every MPP - that's 2000g right there. plus we have to pay our debt back from the war bonds, plus we have to pay our loan off from Spain. Attacking costs hundreds of gold a day, if you tank battles that ends up being thousands of gold a week. last time I checked, eRep doesn't have a magic river of gold that we can just take from to fund our lulz invasions.
A couple of rules:
1 eRep 😕= RL
2 game mechanics trump rhetoric every time
3 learn how the game actually works, not how you think it works
Aww, Johnpauljones read this article before I did...
Anyway, everything he says makes sense, as opposed to just about everything you say Greg... Though, this paper does deserve a subscription for being so funny. xD
