Formation of the American Business Owners Association

Day 445, 20:05 • Published in USA USA

• by Joe DaSmoe

Good Evening America,

This article is the official announcement of the formation the American Business Owners Association.

The ABOA will consist of three sub groups, Manufacturing, Land, Constructions. American GM's can organize as they see fit. This association is meant to have two functions: discussion on matters concerning American GMs and for proposing ideas directly viewable by your Congress and President Uncle Sam's administration(via a majority vote based on registered mems) The sole purpose and intent of this group is meant to serve as a practical means of voicing concerns and suggestions. This Association can in no way directly submit proposals to Congress. The true intent is meant to gain sponsorship from a Congressman who would then submit it to his/her peers for debate, per congressional protocol.

In no way shall ABOA have direct access to the Congress. It's intent is solely for gathering information from the public. Both employees and employers. It will serve as means for people to effectively communicate their viewpoints. What Congress does with it is entirely up to them. If anything may come out of this, it is still mandated to follow congressional protocol, i.e. 5 approvals and a subsequent debate. Before it can be even be proposed.
And as I'm sure you are well aware, Congress intently debates all proposals

Your opinions and input will be gathered by members of Sam's administration. We all know how lacking communication can be in game. This association is meant to provide a solution to this.
I urge all interested GM's to join. Uncle Sam intends to use this as a way to hear directly from you.

I would also like to invite all employees and citizens to visit the Business Resource Center. A big Hell yea to Kyle321n, Congressman for Indiana, for starting the board. Sign up! get informed from the forums. I hope my efforts here will lead to improved awareness and involvement. The meat and potatoes of this game is handled via the forums. Come participate. Be vocal.

Thanks for your time and the President hopes to hear from you soon.
Vote it up to keep the announcement noticed>>>> If y'all don't mind 🙂

Joe DaSmoe,
VP of eUSA

Thanks for the reply.

While I'm not a business owner I have to say that this seems like a dangerous step to take. Allowing business owners to have such direct access to Congress and the President will lead to business owners having too much influence over the country. It's only a matter of time until they are dictating the policy of our nation, and when that happens there are many many citizens that are going to suffer.

mindflay Day 445, 21:18

@Neil personally I beleive business owners already run our nation for better or for worse. I dont see this as a direct line to the government however. I see this as more of a means by which they can let our government know just what is going on in business if and when our government is not already very much in the know.

Hari Michaelson Day 445, 21:20

Neil: This is the reason I asked about an employee-lead counterpart. For now I think there's no reason to panic. I think that we should keep an eye on the actions taken by ABOA, and see if they grow to the level of influence that could become a threat to the rights of workers.

Will the communications between the ABOA and Congress be made available to public scrutiny on any level?

NeilP99 Day 445, 21:24

I should make myself more clear. I'm not saying that this is a bad idea from day one. I just think that this group will have to be closely watched to make sure they don't grow too powerful in the government. I also would like to second Hari's idea that the ABOA maintain a high level of transparency, especially in its dealings with Congress.

GeekyGator Day 445, 21:24

Will join.

Tony Sabatino Day 445, 21:26

Voted.

Joe DaSmoe Day 445, 21:31

Neil this group is meant to serve has a means to collect public opinion for the President. For the record, Sam has no ability to propose tax changes. This group is only for purpose of gathering public sentiment. As stated above Employees have also been giving a voice via the Business resource center. The President wants to hear from America's citizens.

In no way shall this organization have direct access to the Congress. It's intent is solely for gathering information from the public. Both employees and employers. It will serve as means for people to effectively communicate their viewpoints. What Congress does with it is entirely up to them. Also as stated if anything that may come out of this is still mandated to follow congressional protocol, i.e. 5 approvals and a subsequent debate. Before it can be even be proposed.
And as I'm sure you are well aware, Congress intently debates all proposals

I appreciate your concern, I'm a conservative myself. The problem is it is hard to effectively communicate in game as we all know. Sending Pm's or trying to organize anything is next to impossible without the forums. The purpose of the is based solely on the need for better communication.

Joe DaSmoe Day 445, 21:35

"Will the communications between the ABOA and Congress be made available to public scrutiny on any level?"

Yes, Hari thank you for asking that. While I serve as VP, I will publish weekly updates, on this and other subjects. That area of the forum is completely open to the public as well, per the need for transparency.

Hari Michaelson Day 445, 21:43

The need for a better means of communication is something I completely understand, and I do hope that this new organization allows our nation's leaders to more easily understand and react to the economic issues facing our country's job creators. I suppose it just initially appeared that our nation's business owners were being given a private line to Capitol hill to call when they wanted something.

Joe DaSmoe Day 445, 21:59

Not in anyway Hari, I edited it to make this more clear.

NeilP99 Day 445, 23:16

With the new edit to address my concerns I feel much more comfortable about this. Of course the group will still need to be closely monitored, but you seem to have a plan for that Joe.

Uncle Sam Day 446, 06:55

yes, thank you for that input Neil. I agree that we don't want the business owners to get too much power, as it will effect the balance of the economy. This will however provide us with more information on how the Americans are being effected by our economic policy, and will allow us to make necessary adjustments.

If found acceptable by myself and congress of course.

SebastianA Day 446, 11:13

@Neil

Remember that it is the employees that are the majority,and it is the majority that will decide who gets into congress...

Besides, I dont understand why it would be dangerous having employers with more power? They would drive the taxes down, which is what we need

GMoney Day 446, 12:36

The birth of the eLobbyists?

And @ Sebastian, remember that employers have the majority of the money...and money makes the world go round.
