Congressional Voting Record for the Week of 5/26 - 6/1
6/2:
Import tax on oil lowered from 30% to 1%. Proposed by SirEkim.
NO
Lowering the import tax is necessary. However, lowering it to 1% seems to act more as a symbol rather than fiscal responsibility. 3% to 6% is much more reasonable and acceptable.
6/2:
President of Brazil demanded a sum of 0 Gold from your National Treasury in return to a peace treaty with USA. Proposed by Darkvenom.
YES
Long overdue.
6/3:

A standard transaction.

Issue 200,000 USD for 1,000 GOLD. Proposed by Dmalicious.
YES
Do the math.
6/3:
President of Finland has proposed a MPP with USA. Proposed by Engram.

President Engram asked that we renew an old signed MPP and Finland stands in the way of a furthered PEACE agenda.
6/3:

NO
Lowering the import tax is necessary. However, lowering it to 1% seems to act more as a symbol rather than fiscal responsibility. 3% to 6% is much more reasonable and acceptable.

While I don't find it acceptable for other more affluent industries, 1% is a reasonable bracket for an import tax on moving tickets.
6/5:
President of USA has proposed a MPP with Croatia. Proposed by scrabman

Croatia is one of the strongest nations in the world and offered to pay for half of our costs.

6/6:
President of Greece has proposed a MPP with USA. Proposed by Jaguaros.

The MPP is evenly split between us and Greece. They're a small nation and should be protected as much as Israel.

YES
A standard transaction.
6/7:

Loose Romanian currency that was added to the CBO.

😵while at the same time asking for help are very well-founded. I still think a MPP bodes well for us when considering the region and potential for India. I would like to see their import tax rates dropped to around 30%, but they're small and they're not bleeding their people dry. Romania, on the other hand, is the real criminal.

Thanks for publishing your voting record Longbaugh!
WHY?
this is MADNESS
Voted it up.
Awesome stuff 🙂
Voted
Longbaugh, why are 1% import taxes OK for 'less affluent' industries?
Seems like we should make as much of anything we can here, whether affluent or not. Thanks
@ richie450
I don't like theocrats. And, your paper is 1,000% more ridiculous and mad than "The Long Bow" could ever hope to be.
@ ssomo
We are lowering import taxes to spur business with the logic that if we drop everything down to 1% we'll get more imports (obviously).
The moving ticket industry is arguably the weakest industry (after oil I suppose). My argument is that we could keep our tax rates at, say 5% and would spur as much business that a 1% rate would. There's no need to drop it to the point of being a completely ineffective tax.
As for moving tickets specifically: considering the deprivation of an industry where as I type this only one company is offering anything higher than Q1 tickets, a 1% tax rate may not be the best, but it's reasonable when considering the proportion. The difference between a 1% rate and a 5% rate on food, gifts, and weapons is much greater than that same difference regarding moving tickets.
You could argue that we should make as much of anything we can here. I'd argue that smaller nations like India and Ireland should follow that course. We, as an eRepublik superpower can utilize a world economy much more effectively... and we should.
you copy p[aste ME!!
Great voting record, thanks Longbaugh. I appreciate the thought you've put into the tax change proposals.
