Doing my best
Natster
I did my best to try to enable a better economy.
In some ways, I was willing to pay more for what I do.
But your fellow Senators don't want to fix anything or are unwilling to change anything.
All we will see are MPP's and funds transfers.
Boring!
They argued that I would kill the communes. I run a pseudo-commune. It's not the typical setup, but I help my employees gain money quickly. I pay them generously, and still have plenty of money left over.
I had just over 3500 cc's in this video
And now, I have over 4k CC's + I'm at 42 Gold.
Very few players get these sort of results, and those who do know how to make money in this game. If you listen to my advice, I can get you here as well.
It's taken me time and investment and experimentation.
However, at the end of the day, I think I understand the game's economy.
I know the Senate rejected all my proposals, and I can't make any more until my next term in Senate.
The wolf howls, and he is at the top of the mountain.

A better goal would be sharing simple advice telling people how to get the most out of their companies. Your experiment with taxes is not the first one to meet strong resistance, and it certainly won't be the last. But everyone welcomes advice for making more money.
do that all the time to those who ask
my q1 advice still stands btw. Whether one accepts it or not is on them
'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'.
It was an intelligent and well thought out plan. Good on you for trying. o7
If you keep at the commune work you are doing and it proves to be not only sustainable but also profitable, you will gain loyal followers who will later help you out with your tax plans. Grow slowly, keep advocating your message, and you'll get there.
In fact, my military unit quite sucks and I'm looking for something better. Are you accepting new recruits?
1. You are a congressman and can make an unlimited number of proposals in the meta congress.
2. If a proposal doesn't survive a congress vote/debate it probably isn't a good idea to propose it in-game
3. If a proposal does pass a congress vote/debate anyone can propose it in-game (if required)
4. Do not equate refusing to do the wrong thing, or the disastrous thing, with refusing to do anything.
5. You were able to educate some about q1 houses. Perhaps you learned something about how taxes stack and are calculated. All that is for the good.
6. Please reflect on your expressed view that very few players make 2 gold/week. You are to be congratulated for that performance but you may have an inflated opinion of its relative rarity.
First 2 points I understand.
Point 3 is we'll see
4 I didn't say it was disastrous, but I do think I could increase our tax per citizen.
5 thanks
6 I'm sure it's a handful, but I didn't say per week. In fact, the increase was in a few days. Stupid gold push lately may slow it a bit down, but ultimately I think increasing in wealth that quickly is a rarity.10-20%? If I was to guess how many could do that
I think it's great that you put in the effort to think up your proposals but I have to say that I'm also happy with the conclusion of them not being implemented. I think you failed (in the media anyways - I haven't signed up to the new forums) to show how your ideas would actually improve the Canadian economy. They might have led to an economic shift, with more money being kept by those who have a lot of companies that they WaM and a rise in prices as a result of less foreigners selling their goods in Canada but I didn't see you connect the dots and explain how this would be an overall improvement.
Just as an example, your proposed raising the minimum wage because you said that communes could afford the increase. They probably can. If they can't, it wouldn't be that hard to get those dollars back from their workers anyways. But even then, what would be the point? What's the benefit? Unfortunately I was asking myself these questions for every one of your proposals.
The forums was the discussion, and the articles were the numbers.
The benefit of raising the minimum wage, would be increasing the tax revenue. If we run out of money, there are 2 reasons : Mismanagement or tax revenue stream.
I want to tweak the revenue stream to increase cash flow.
I did a comparative analysis to show the senate how the revenue stream can be increased, and as a result our economy.
Cool. Next time you feel like bringing this up again you should post it here, too for the rest of us quiet two-clickers. I'd be interested in seeing your numbers (mostly because I remain unconvinced 😛).
