Comrad3 for The Congress seat in New Hampshire.

I am running for this seat under the UIP, and my host party is the SFP.

Preamble
First and foremost, I am for transparency. I promise everyone that every vote of mine will be public. eRepublik has a great divide between players and their government; and I will do everything in my power to lessen this. Therefore I encourage people to challenge my position on votes, to discuss with me my voting record, and attempt to sway me to your point of view.

Economic Policy
Taxes

I will not hesitate to use all of the tools available to government to ensure that the market stays stable and citizens are able to afford a decent quality of life. However, I will not support taxes that further the divide between haves and have-nots. Capitalism must be restrained and molded to serve man until we reach the point where a scarcity based economy is no longer relevant.

Balance of Trade

Government Subsidized Import Licenses
I support government subsidized import licenses to allied nations for worker owned companies, profit-share companies and other companies who have a reputation for treating their employees well. These import licenses will help provide smaller countries with the products they need to build strong societies.


Favored Trading Nation
I support the naming of a favored trading partner and government subsidized import licenses for companies in that country to supply American markets with iron and future titanium RR.

Skill-0 Hubs

I support the idea of Skill-0 Hubs for several reasons:
1. The supply of weapons, food, tickets, or other products support our troops in other countries who may not be able to purchase these items with the salary of the host country. The sale of these products can also be used to purchase American products for use overseas by troops.
2. The creation of a 'market minimum wage' while leaving the actual minimum wage alone. Leaving the minimum wage at 1USD is good for those who want to operate nonstandard economic programs like the Socialist Freedom Party, but doesn't do as much for new players. With the increase in wages for new players more money is re-invested into the basic economy (Q1 food, Q1 weapons, Q1 moving tickets) and thus redistributes wealth to beginner company managers.
3. 100% employment opportunities. I have seen times where there are no skill-0 jobs available. If the game is telling us to get a job, having no employment opportunities will make me think that the game is just broken and discourage me from playing.

'Banana Sticker' program

I support the creation of a 'Favored Company' program, wherein a company receives a stimulus package after being nominated by an employee, and voted on based on employee ratings and testimonials.

Government Visibility

I am for working for governmental visibility, and fully support individuals and groups who push for governmental oversight, and government supervision.

Budget Reporting

I would like to see reforms enacted that will prevent the theft of public funds, including the publishing of budgets from every department, agency and branch of the military that receives public money. This will allow watch dog groups to more easily track the flow of money and expose corruption in the government and allow American citizens to see how the government spends tax dollars. We would also like to see rules in place to bar those who have been involved in the theft of funds from participation in eAmerican governance.

Citizen Outreach

I support more user friendly eUS forums, and promotes bringing information into the game where people have access to it without being forced to join forums and finding it on their own. Let's do more to aid with new players' education and easing them into the insanity of the New World.I support the Baby Boom programs!


Foreign and Military Policy
Anti-Imperialism
I opposes all forms of imperialism from participating in wars for raw materials, to political takeovers of foreign governments, to liberating regions against the wishes of the native population. We believe that the United States military should be used to defend the United States and assist in the defense of our allies from imperialist aggression.

International Solidarity

I oppose usurping sovereignty from individual nations with little regard to the well-being of smaller nations. I promote the idea of international political unity by working alongside other far left parties throughout the New World, working on economic, social, and political problems that occur in the New World.

Military Trials

I will work and talk with Military JCS to start a Discharge council so that when being dishonorably discharged the terms of the discharge and why can be explained and a group of peers in the military can say the final say (what's the point of being discharged if you don't know why?)
