MOAR WAR
End of Platform
I made bold statements in my Military Platform about providing weapons for Soldiers, and had anticipated the Question of "How do you intend to pay for this?", but it never came, so I guess you all trust me.
(For purposes of this platform, the term "soldier" being anyone who shows up on IRC ready to fight for eCanada and says "Let me kick some ASS")
To those who are curious I intend to fund these endeavors as follows
As you know Government revenue is collected from taxes. We currently spend the bulk of our tax dollars on the CAF and The MoI or Ministry of Industries. I have a special presentation on my plans for the MoI which I will explain in detail how I intend to operate this ministry going forward, but the for the sake of this conversation I intend to drastically reduce tax payer funding to this program while still maintaining it's function within the eCanadian economy - which is to provide jobs to eCanadians and pump money into the marketplace
Government Tax dollars are currently collected from all citizens when they work each day. Currently some citizens spend their money on weapons and wellness in defense of their country. Some citizens 2 click their way through their eLife and either die with CAD in their pockets or obtain great wealth on the backs of others (IE through a strong economy from WAR while contributing nothing to that WAR themselves)
I intend to cut spending while maintaining the current tax rate. The free weapons and wellness that are distributed to our soldiers will be the equivalent of a "Tax Rebate" - Those who fight and those who don't fight, will be economic equals at then end of their work day, but those who invest their time in the defense or eCanada have the added benefit of being provided the means to do so,
These "Free" Weapons will be bought strictly from the eCanadian marketplace during IRC supply, which will help to spur the economy. The current role of the MoI is to get money in to the economy and that money will still be going into the economy, just in the form of weapons and wellness purchases and the MoI will still be putting money into the economy through traditional means, just in a new form
The constant burning through of eCanadian Weapons and eCanadian Wellness based food will drive both jobs and economic activity in those sectors. Warfare will benefit the housing and constructions market as seen in Addy Lawrence's article here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-business-case-for-houses-in-v2-day-1-008--1497743/1/20
Oh yes, and Closed Economy. We will, through my MoI plan and WAR based economy, attempt to have as much Gold coming into eCanada while limiting the amount that goes out. That being said, if prices become stupidly expensive and I sense gouging in the market I am willing to lay the smack down on the import taxes to correct things SLIGHTLY
So the TL
😉R version
Taxes stay the same
We trim the fat off the budget
That fat becomes purchases of free weapons and Wellness for Soldiers
All these purchases serve to create economic activity and drive the economy upward

Roll with Rolo xD
All the best mate! o7
done deal
I'm sold! Roll with Rolo.
This is a solid and sensible approach to the economic needs of this country. Well done!
Btw, check the CAF budget, it has been drasticly reduced lately to meet the current V2 reality in terms of Timed Strike and the uselessness of fighting right in the middle of the day.
We're spending less than 1/4 of what we used to in v1.
bammmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Interesting. Specifically, what is the fat you propose to cut, how much is it, and what is the budget for the free food and weapons?
What will you do when all of the good weaps and wellness food from our market is used up? Will you have a stockpile sumwhere? Or you gonna raid a Bro/EDEN market xD
"What will you do when all of the good weaps and wellness food from our market is used up? Will you have a stockpile sumwhere? Or you gonna raid a Bro/EDEN market xD"
if there is a demand for high Q products, more people will open up the companies to fill the demand
The fat I intend to cut will be what is currently used to fund the Ministry of Industries, which has been as high an 80,000 CAD per month. This is essentially the budget, combined with the current CAF budget we can use to outfit our armies
Mawasha has answered the second question. Market demand (specifically wellness only food) will open opportunities for new companies and thus more jobs in that sector to satisfy the needs
The Key is to buy from Canadian companies to keep the wealth in Canada
I should clarify, the MoI will still be funded for the production of Hospitals and Defense Systems AS NEEDED
So the MoI is losing $80,000 per month? Holy crap! Acacia, is this true?
Presumably there are some MoI products stockpiled somewhere. Why not use those for the government freebies rather than spending another $80,000 per month buying more in the marketplace?
I also assume the MoI is paying eCanadian wages. If those employees are let go, won't this simply offset the job benefits of your program?
This is lady's-scented body-wash !
Unum. The MoI continually has been losing money under the guise of "pumping money into the economy". I intend to export the produced goods to avoid affecting the domestic market to offset the cost of production rather than stockpile. The companies will remain open and employing canadians however I will let the best workers work in the private sector and use the MoI simply as a jobs program
For the record, its only $50,000 this month. This goes toward stockpiling low Q weapons, high Q hospitals and high Q defence systems.
There is so much fat to be trimmed, it isn't even funny. I have looked at several government companies with dozens and dozens of employees. Even 100+ in some cases. The workers there produce so so little because they are so far away from the optimal 10 workers. I don't know what their wages are, but if they are getting paid wages similar to what is on the job market, that is insane.>>>"This goes toward stockpiling low Q weapons" --- This is also a good example of fat. Is there any reason at all to stockpile low Q weapons? At a LOSS? Does any soldier here think a secret cache of low Q weapons will save our capitals on the battlefield, or our regions on the map should we be threatened?

I have long thought that these companies should be shuttered or restructured, operating them only as a jobs program is an excellent idea. Great platform all around!
C'est une excellente plateforme économique.
J'approuve!
Got my vote!
We love you ROLO!!!!! *Screams*
