I'm running for congress and here are somethings I want to do. First, I want to cut taxes and put protective import taxes. I would also like to fund military operations and help reclaim the fifty states. I hope you vote for me!

I thank you for taking the time to join the political process, but right now during a war I don't think even considering tax changes is an option. We lose enough revenue as it is, so the income tax is a must right now. I would like to see something to protect us from too much foreign competition, but again, let's start the recovery up again and then your ideas could become law.

v+s, we need more ppl like you in congress and less like portcolumbus.
time to elect congressmen who care more for the average eAmerican player, and less for their own purse.
I want to help fund Rebellions.
I thought the same thing, then I was elected to congress and realized how horrible our finances were compared to our enemies. Now is not the time for lowering taxes.
You also say you want to fund rebellions. How do you expect to do that when you lower taxes, and we lose 50% of our tax base to foreign occupiers? Supplying our armed forces is not cheap. Also to Stranger...congressmen don't get paid. We are all volunteers. We even donate our 5 gold rewards.
Yes. I know, but we could at least put a freeze on taxes. I have a Right-Wing view on it.
Perhaps you need to take a while to observe how our government works. You must know what certain actions will do before throwing yourself out in congress as a relatively new player. Learn the ropes first, kid. The country is in too much trouble to cut taxes. In fact, I believe we need MORE taxes. As Sweatysack said, funding those types of things is NOT cheap. You can't lower taxes and fund a successful campaign at the same time...it just isn't possible without a significant outside source of funds.
