Congressmen: cut the import tax on houses!

Day 2,609, 08:04 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Il Padrino di mafiosi

Currently the import tax for houses is 99%, this means that the lowest house prices are over £300. Unfortunately houses only last 168 hours after activation, giving an overtime slip at a rate of 1 over hour. However 24 are needed to work overtime, so the amount of 'overtimes' that can be worked by an individual is 7.



The average wage is about £32 per day, so this is the amount of extra pay given for overtime. 7 'overtimes' at £32 is only £224 in total. This means that buying a house (>£300), one would make a loss of at least £76!



The solution is for the congressmen to vote for the import tax to be lowered from the extremely protectionist 99% (so effectively a ban on house imports), to less than 10%.



Presumably the tax rate was put in to protect domestic suppliers' prices, but the fact is that domestic suppliers won't be selling much at the current prices anyway (only the gullible or extremely well paid (>£50) would buy a house at >£300). The increase in imports would also mean more money for the government, because they won't receive any money from a 99% tax! because nobody would currently be importing.



This is the right thing to do for the people, for business and for the state, and this newspaper hopes that the government will work in the interests of these three key stakeholders, for without which, all that government would simply be a collection of corrupt oppressors! Change now and prove the people otherwise!
