This is for all people who want to run for the congress... since my presidency eAustria has a Congress TAX which is 3 gold.
So if you will run for congress you will have to pay 3 gold after you get elected
This election all who wont pay will be annoucend and we will make sure they wont have a place in congress next election!

Big VOTE !!!
I donated my gold and stay with Austria all time
I have absolutely no confidence that the government would use the money better than myself, so won't donate 3 gold if I choose to run for congress.
I expect you'll sit out of wargames on the same principle, then.
Considering that I can earn 25+ Gold a month and have free fights every day..
OR
stay in Congress in Austria, have 4 battles a month and earn 15 shillings a day

It is NOT a hard choice to make.
I will not be running in a Congress in Austria.
Since when is holding public office about making money? I did not expect this at all. 🙁
Austria currently doesn't make gold because our economy is so small.
Our government relies on congress donations to help pay for wargames and MPPs. You can't have something for nothing.
If we had all of our original regions and a population in the thousands the donation wouldn't be necessary. Our economy large enough to support the government. Currently it is not.
I agree with the tax, however i feel it is not been put to use correctly! I'm think the individual can do more with the Gold than the collective!
The Gold was used to bring ATS- GOLD ratio down, the GOLD was used to found some war games between us and our neighbours.
And the gold now will be used for war games.
Frankly, I oppose the idea of it being a "tax." It shouldn't be mandatory. If we want to have a war game and need to start it ourselves, whats wrong with just asking for voluntary donations? Its also a more accountable way of doing it. If people just automatically give 3 gold every month, there is no guarantee it will go to war games.

Guys.. there is no talking about the 3 gold tax, you all go for congress to help eAustria and the best you can help it with Donating 3 gold.
If you dont want to donate gold don't even run. AS is the only thing with which you can help eAustria. Every country needs gold to function.. no gold means anarchy.
If you wont donate gold your choise but i will make sure people will know how much you care for eAustria and how much for your own pocket.
Sorry, but having discussions is the way you figure out which side of the argument is right. Your tendency to demand people not discuss things and just follow you is pretty telling.
I see no problem with having it be a voluntary donation done at the time when war games are to be started. As it is, its just throwing money into a large pool with only the possibility it will be used for war games. By keeping more money in the market itself, it will strengthen the economy far more than it would by going into the government coffers indefinitely. I care about Austria, and that will help Austria.
Congressment tax is not voluntary.. you pay or not. You dont pay you will face some problems ;🙂
If people don't want to vote for a guy who would rather invest their money in improving Austria than immediately donate it into an ambiguously used money pool, that is their choice. Whether you like it or not, the choice to donate is voluntary as it isn't enforceable. It's worth noting there are consequences for any action you take, including actions such as trying to strongarm people in a game where people can't actually be strongarmed.
