Part 1 - Onwards Paradoxia! – The Main Goals
(Canadian Paradox Party Electoral Platform for December 200😎
It has been many months since our last Presidency and we are back with yet another complete and new Platform. Introducing the new Canadian Paradox Party Electoral Platform of December 2008 which plans to help eCanada onwards to success. We hope that you, the eCanadian voters, deem it right that we return from the wilderness and re-enter the highest political office of our great Nation.
The two major goals of a Canadian Paradox Party Government would be:
1. The Military
eCanada has never been a great military power and therefore to help improve this, the following will occur:
A. All eCanadians will be encouraged to register as soldiers and to train every day. For those who train every day for a fortnight there will be a reward from the government.
B. Monthly Platoon Review will be issued, looking at matters such as, the supplies of the Platoon, the activity of Platoon Leader and Platoon members.
C. New recruits will receive a signing bonus of 10 CAD.
D. One off payment of 300 CAD will be issued to the CAF, as well as a regular payment of 20 CAD x the number of recruits a month included with rest of CAF budget which is to be decided.
2. The Economy
The Canadian Paradox Party understands that eCanadian economy has strengthed in some sectors and to help in it's continuation, the following improvements will occur:
Section One – Taxes/Dollar Value
A. Changes in the taxes will include, setting both the Income and Value Added Tax (VAT) for all industries to 5%, as well as changing the Import Taxes of Iron to 20%, Gifts to 50%, and everything else will remain at 99%.
B. Will attempt to raise the dollar value.
Section Two - Government Companies
A. All government companies will sell its goods at a rate that is higher than Private eCanadian Companies by 10%.
B. A maximum price cap will be decided for Government Companies so that Sub-Section A, will not be taken advantage of by the Private Sector.
Section Three – Trade
The Federal Government will look to help strengthen:
A. Our trading options by reviewing the current agreements and by considering signing any new ones.
B. Will ensure that we maintain our Export supremacy and keep Imports as low as possible.
C. Will help eCanadian private companies to survive in times of economic crisis, as well as support an eCanadian economy.

I understand the tax on iron being low, but what gives with gifts? We have a ton of diamonds. Why are weapons being left at 99% when iron is low at 20%? I haven't checked the current levels of each of these, but it seems I'm missing part of the thought process here.
We are in need of Iron, therefore, we need to import it since we aren't making enough here. That way our weapons companies can keep producing. Otherwise, our weapons companies will fail. Then we'll have to import weapons. So in order to save ourselves from massive importation, we must import a bit to save alot.
We don't need weapons, so we don't need to import.
CAF is using up all of our gifts, and rightly so. However, the Canadian companies have not been able to keep up with all the demand.
The CAF should be using some of the thousands of gifts the government has or produces. I don't understand why they aren't.
Augustus, if Cesar had the pw he would...
John, PM when you need gifts, I don't watch the CAF forums anymore. I can list them from Vincent Valentines. Cesar has no authority of Shinra nor should he.
anyway
Few things on the economy
I understand the desire to increases taxes to bring in CAD, but I hope Tom and Dean know we have HUGE reserves of CAD not just in the treasury but at least 25K between Shinra and the Bank.
The only way to effectively increase the value of CAD to gold would be to pump gold onto the market giving the government even MORE CAD that it can only really use for the trainers (including Shinra) and the CAF.
On top of that the government has roughly 3,500 gold between all SO's and the country treasury, if anything that number needs to increase. However, that is not good for the economy at this time.
tl;dr
let the great Dean v Rearden economic debate commence 😛
Also what do you mean by Section 3C? direct CAD or Gold injections for companies?
Well I do not have access Alex and you are right nor should I so I use the gifts on the market no gifts on the market no gifting that is just the way it is.
As for you earlier point it wouldn't hurt to get more CAD and stock up the treasury and trainers etc and perhaps create more trainers to increase the overall skill of out population. The platform is a solid one Tom as usual.
I like the military idea of the sign-up fee I think that will incourage citizens to join the CAF the only thing I would include is to keep John Wilkmot as the gerenal because he has done a remarkable job in his position.
Onwards Paradoxia!
Alex: Dean is not my VP. That would be Derakor.
Thank you for your response elsewhere.
Section Three C is basically, that the government will continue to only buy eCanadian, and buy from companies who are in the most trouble. Yes, we understand that injecting gold into the market will increase the dollar value.
Other thing, increasing taxes will allow us to buy the gold from people, so that we can sell it again. That way there will always be a good bunch of gold in the market. Without it affecting the treasury in any major way, or the budgets. To inject the market with gold, we need to ensure that we always have gold to inject. Hence we'll need CAD to buy gold from people.
But yes, I am the VP of CPP.
@Tom
Yeah but dean is just to fun to argue with
@Derakor
Lets say the government puts 200gold on the market to stabilize the value of CAD until market forces increase demand for CAD which is good for domestic companies.
200 gold x 40CAD=8000CAD
Now to get that gold back (which we, in the long run, will need due to 0 new gold coming into the treasury) we would have to buy up the gold on the market, at the new stronger price, in doing so we clear the market and undo what was done by listing the original amount
right now if you were get 200gold at lowest market price (37CAD) we would clear the market making the slate clean for someone to list 1 gold for 80CAD effectively screwing over the market. Albeit, the government would make 600 CAD profit off of the deal but CAD is NOT something the government is in any way running short of.
Gold is, and this will be next months monetary policy challenge, rebuilding a gold stockpile without trashing the monetary market. Coupled with increasing domestic supply of high Q food. The CPF economic policy will be up by the end of the day.
Outside of the economics section, this is a strong first part of a platform. I look forward to seeing the rest.
