Illinois Feb-March Voting Record, Aren Perry

Day 470, 19:16 Published in USA USA by Aren Perry

Ignoring lulz proposals.

The order is Income/Import/VAT

Tax Change: Oil
Original 10/15/0
New 20/30/0

Yes, I support the PANEC proposal because it is what has helped us start winning wars and providing better support for our country. It is a compromise that was agreed upon and though it is not to my total liking, too high, it is something we came to a mutual agreement on. I work with my fellow congressman to get things done. We shall wait awhile then evaluate how well it has done.

Declare War: Mexico
Yes, it was a great opportunity for us to get easy battles in for experience and prove what our fighting force can do. We were looking for easy war opportunities and this was the definition. Further, the oppression of the Mexican people gave us further cause to invade as we were really fighting polish overlords.

Donate: 70k USD to Fort Knox Fed Reserve
Yes, it was needed to ensure that the war was properly funded and most of it did not actually go to the war effort but was there to ensure that it was in a liquifiable account.

Tax Change Weapon:
Ol😛 15/20/15
New: 20/25/3

Yes, PANEC.

Tax Change: Moving Tickets
Ol😛 10/15/5
New: 20/30/3

Donate 29K GRD
Yes
Though in retrospect it would have been better to hold onto the GD later until it was worht more it was the most amount of gold we had that could be liquified for the sake of our US gold account.

Tax Change: House
Ol😛 10/5/3
New: 20/25/3

Yes, PANEC.

Tax Change: Wood
Ol😛 20/15/0
New: 20/30/0

Yes, PANEC.

Donate 1k CHF to Fort Knox Federal Reserve
Yes, same purpose as other donations of foreign currency, to turn into gold.

Peace Proposal: Portugal.
Yes (failed)
I voted yes because they have 8 allies as long as the war goes on. There is very little way we can fight all of them and expect to win or come out ahead in experience since 8 nations will gain experience every time we attack. The 700 gold to start a new war is a lot, but it is better than keeping open a useless war we can't win that keeps 4 nations from trading with us.

Tax Change: Hospital
Ol😛 10/1/1
New: 20/1/1

Yes, PANEC.

Donate 1308 IEP to Fort Knox
Yes
Again, to liquify into gold for treasury.


Tax Change: Defense System
Ol😛 10/1/1
New 20/1/1

Yes, PANEC

For the record, I said yes to all Donations made from this point on for both the cause of the Mexican war, weapons companies, the Q5 hospital, and foreign currency. However, after making so many donations I realized that the knowledge of exactly what was happening with this money was unknown to me and thus I called for the Public Information Act, which is currently going through committee, to be activated on the wherebouts of money spent and in which organization.

Peace With Portugal
Vote
Yes
I realized even before this vote that peace with Portugal was a good idea due to the amount of MPP's that they have, disregardless of its effects in Mexico.

Q4 DS for Massachusett's, 8k
Vote
Yes

A very, very cheap price. Could not pass up the opportunity for such a cheap Q4 DS-such a deal is not to be denied.

All MPP offers.
Vote
Yes
These are renewals of ones that we already had in place as a part of our Atlantis relationships.

President Impeachment:
Vote
No
Though I recognize the mistakes within the war with Mexico that were the responsibility of Uncle Sam, I do not believe them to be worthy of Impeachment. His mistakes were honest and they do not deserve the treatment that a traitor deserves. Uncle Sam did his best that he knew how and did a lot of good things, even if this was a mistake. We should not be a fickle people that do not respect our leaders.
