Voting Record: Illinois Jan-Feb

Day 440, 09:13 Published in USA USA by Aren Perry

here I will store my voting record for all things during Jan-Feb.

President Impeachment:
No, Justinious is not that bad people!

Minimum Wage:
No, The economy works itself out to a naturally well defined level in terms of wages. Messing with this natural employee/business relationship can end up hurting both (yes this is one thing I've come to disagree with you on Don).

Issue Money:
No

Tax Change: Food (8% income, 10% import, 4% VAT), lower from current rates
Yes, at the time there was no economic crisis.

Buy Constructions: Q1 Hospital for 1500$ for Montana
Yes, it was a cheap price and we still have plenty of money at the time.

Tax Change: Food 5% income, 5% import, 2% VAT
No, this was an attempt to stall the higher taxes for the economic crisis. It was not appreciated by most.

Tax Change: Food 20%, 15%, 15%
Yes,
Although I think the raise was too high and would have preferred a 15% 15% 10%, this was what was agreed upon and I was unable to persuade a smaller degree of increase. Therefore in the name of compromise to get something done positive, if even too much, yes.

Tax Change: Gift 20% 15% 15%
Yes
Same reason as above.

Donate:
Yes
This is to be turned into Gold and given back to the treasury from the DoD. A good way to create usable currency for the eUS.

Tax Change: Moving Tickets. 10, 10, 10%
I'm not sure why someone proposed the flat tax rate across the board, but it was not agreed upon previously by due course, and I am not someone that favors flat tax rates.

New Citizen Message:
Yes
Heck yes, we need to welcome those new citizens 😃

Donate:
Yes
Same as above Donate.

Tax Change: Wood 20% income 15% Import
Yes
Same as above for both Emergency Tax proposals. Again, too high for my tastes.

Buy Constructions: Q4 Hospital 12,500
Yes
I don't like spending, but if we don't it would cost jobs in the market.

Tax Change: Food
Yes
I do not like the big spike in import taxes, but the gentler income/VAT make it overall a better bill.

Buy Constructions:
Yes
Same as above Constructions.

New Citizen Fee: 7 USD
No, too high for new citizens to survive.

Donate: 31,000 to QMG Weapons
Yes
in order to create more gold for the US treasury.

Donate: 15 Gold to Mike
No
Mike's personal weirdness, who knows why he even tried to give himself 15 gold. It was inappropriate.

Tax Change Foo😛 10 Income, 15 Import, 5 VAT
Yes
A little premature, but I'm glad to get taxes down again.

Trading Embargo: Switzerland
Yes
Stop those Theocrats from making money off of us.

Tax Change: Weapon
15% Income 20% Import 15% VAT
To prepare for war in the new module.

Yes
Money to use in case of battle which we did 😃 though we didn't use this money in the battle.

Alliance: Canada
Yes
Hail our neighbors to the north!

Donate: 12500 to Nelco Industries
Yes
to pay off the rest of our debt to Nelco for the Q4 Hospital

MPP: Sweden

Friendly nation=heck yes

MPP: Spain

We need those Spaniards! They're awesome folks if a bit warlike 😉.

MPP: India
