[TDK] Do not go gentle into that good night

Mandatory theme music. ^_~
Citizens of the eUSA,
First off, if the primaries are on in your party, go and vote.
Secondly, I'm a little sick in RL, so if it feels like I didn't put my 100% into this article, you know why.
Anyways, I got tired of answering, like every other President before me, 'I can't do anything' to the question of tax reform. The 25% tax is the elephant of the room this month, even though we've had a huge war, this tax still makes it out on top. And I'm tired of ignoring the question and giving vague answers which all mean 'I can't help you'.
We all know that the Country President has no direct control over the taxes. But that doesn't mean that with enough resources one can not change or provide any alternative to the tax issue.
I have an idea.
Let's say, the tax increase from 15% to 25% gives us an increase of $100,000 income daily. (These figures are not exact, we can take exact averages for this, that's not a problem.)
Each month, this nets us $3,000,000.
In 3 10 day periods, I will donate(from my personal funds) the amount of $3,000,000(Notice these are rough estimates and only being used as an example.)
This will provide our treasury with the funding it needs. Here's the fun part: For the time-period that I will have provided them the funding, I will request Congress to decrease the tax rate from 25% to 15% as they have already received the funding they were supposed to get.
Now either Congress approves or disapproves this plan. I doubt they'd disapprove considering the pressure they're under, but if they do disapprove, there is a plan for that too.
For all US company owners, I will compensate the $ that they are losing due to the 15% to 25% tax increase. It will be as simple as verifying your companies, filling up a form, and you'll start receiving your compensations and make profits again.
I did my best to save us govt. $ with my own CO's recently, but that obviously didn't do the trick. There are not many realistic solutions to this problem, but what I am bringing to the table is one of the only solutions to this issue that might be agreeable to all parties and I am ready to make this sacrifice. Give me your comments and ideas if you have any, I'd like to hear from you.
And don't forget, go to your party primaries and vote.
😁
V/r,

just get a party fill up with people willing to lower the taxes and stack a congress
In few words: Please make me candidate for CP elections i will pay you 9 million cc. Please, please, please 🙁
100k a day for 30 days is not 9mil braniac
3 for support and 6 for elections 😛
hahahaaha
Hm. Interesting, but yeah; does seem a tad political. However, you get an it game vote to lower taxes to 15% passed BEFORE the 5th and you just might get my vote.
Believe right now you or any Congress Member may propose such a vote or no?
Anyone could open a discussion about it and being it to proposal, sure.
Don't act like you'er an idiot.
You know that currently America has no Dictator and therefore the President or any Congress Member may propose a Tax Reduction Law.
That would be illegal.
Only in the 'Meta Congress' of the 'Meta Government' made up of citizens who no longer play eRepublik, but instead role play on the 'eUSA Forums', such a proposal is perfectly legal in game....
Franklin pls
Garmr, please; you know what I said is true or no?
You know very well everyone has abided by these non-ingame-officially-declared rules, even though technically it is possible to start a law.
You are like Leonardo DiCaprio. Trying so hard and yet don't have an Oscar.
Please give this man an Oscar, for the tryhard.
Man, you're dead. xD
That's what you think 😛
Heheh so the solution to a tax problem is 'Here, I have a credit card."
How very Donald Trump of you. 😁
Комплексиран пубер.
Nothing like a bit of bribery to get a CP candidate elected!
would be cheaper for you to buy votes for 1k each
Baking Soda, I got baking soda!
one other plan: get elected than get org passwords. start the coup, when dictator drop the taxes
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Shucks, you had to use one of my fav poems, didn't you? 😑
Get well soon. o/
well thought it is a good plan... my vote is here
Well TDK for CP if you lose here, welcome to Chile, we always open for talk about $$$ 😃
Folks shouldn't bitch about TDK offering the govt 3 million bucks
If you noticed, it's mostly Bulgarians and FYROMians. I'm happy with it.
Many people simply don't like it when people offer to throw huge sums of money at the gov't because we can easily become beholden to them, much like a political candidate is beholden to campaign contributors.
Well, its show you have nationalistic attitude for me and really patriotic even for some people it means you spent Credit Card only for game, but hello its your own money so you can do whatever you want xD

Electing someone who wants to donate so much money would be a normal thing to do.
If USA doesn't do this...it's blind or too much into politics.
On the other side of the coin, he'd do this if he didn't win too, if it weren't about politics.
Would you keep helping someone who doesn't appreciate your help at all?
Nobody claimed it wasn't appreciated. It definitely is. But, again, if it's not politically motivated, he'd do this win or lose.
Being appreciated 😕= being President.
In the eUS we still have a semblance of a community so that'd be "too into politics" I guess ^___^
While I am not a eCitizen of your country, I can read.
TDK has offered to help lower the taxes, yet people accuse him of trying to buy the CPship. Instead of being sideline coaches, if you dont like his solution, come up with one that is suitable. We read everyday people complaining about the high taxes, but no one offers a solution. When TDK does, it is critised because it came from him (and yes, his wording doesnt help). Rather then point fingers, present an alternative plan.
First, high taxes≠bad thing (at least for people who support the measure), You're free to see it as a problem, but that doesn't mean it really is.
Second, ideology put aside, finally some people from eR community makes something different for a chance. With the current irrelevant military module, to go back and make true changes on internal affairs seems legit enough to keep national community alive. Of course, I'm expecting the next steps with the tax collection but my desire is to see something new in politics.
TDK only wants to return to status quo. It's valid that POV, of course, but if people really want some change (whatever it is) I think that even buying votes to be president would be insufficient.
Never said his offer wasn't appreciated or acceptable. If it is non political he will do it win or lose. What I believe is that he will NEVER get the 'Meta Congress' on the 'eUSA Forums" to agree to such a thing.
:/
Damn, this sounds a lot like what I offered on the forums to the people bitching about max taxes... none of them have stepped forward to take me up on my offer... lol

I mean I do appreciate the good will and everything, but you're trying to solve literally everything with your money 🙁

lol. but seriously, you can't be president / infusing cash forever, what happens when your term is done and the next guy refuses to / reverts your decision of lower taxes?
I see it this way. We are going to have a few months with the 25% tax regardless of what happens or who's President until we reach a certain reserve number, as that is Congress's decision.
Now either we can have all the months with a 25% tax, or we can at least save ourselves one or two months with a lowered tax. Congress doesn't lose anything, the citizens have a lowered tax for a month or two, win-win for everyone involved.
This way, we could have a large portion of the time that we were supposed to have the 25% tax as 15% instead, until Congress decides it wants 15% on its own.
You will frighten the tankers
would you do this as well as minister in the cabinet of another winner. but if i where the us i would take the deal. you claim to have tapped out your resources? so what really do the us have to lose thats if that was not a big fat lie and there is still plenty of reserves in private hands. though i would say better yet actually bring it down to 10%
US not taking the money deal is what separates it from little shit countries that are run by top tanks/money instead of skill.
And hell, what if we do have millions in private accounts, once that is drained it still means the total defense reserve is drained, or worse, permanently lowered because it's hard to refill the invisible reserves.
