Goedenavond,
This is an open letter to congresspeople. If you are not a congressperson you are encouraged to read it also, since it can help you to decide who to vote the next 25th.
As for a week we have been in a democracy again, which means that Congress has ingame power again (it always had it outgame, the dictatorship was just for mechanic reasons). The fact that there is no Dictator anymore means that congresspeople are awarded 5 gold alongside with their medal. Here is where the issue lies.
Most of you probably have already forgot, but there is a law that requires all congress members to pay at least half of that prize to the administration.
”1. Congress members are required to pay a minimum of 50% of their in-game election reward to the state within 5 days of their election. The Party Presidents will gather all taxes and transfer them to the state, submitting adequate proof of the transfer to the Minister of Finance.”

I am aware that a few days ago the MoF contacted all Party Presidents to remind them of this situation, but not all them have responded as they are expected. This is not to criticize any particular party as I am sure all of them want the best for the country, but we are a small country and our sources of income are limited.
This is why I ask you all to pay this tax, it is important to keep money flowing to the state. So, if your Party President has not contacted you yet about this tax, please remind him that he should be collecting the taxes.
I hope you all will do what is right in this matter.

tl;dr.
My summary would be: Dutchies have dutch issues with moniz
But have you seen how I even quoted a law and provided a link to it? It was top notch imo
Yeah okay, I read the article. : ( (Although quotes, bold and italic at once are aesthetic overkill.)
Thing is I really like italic, any chance I have I will use. I would normally put it in the cite, but it being a link, it may look weird. The problem is that the important part was not highlited enough only with italics, but i could not let go the opportunity to use them.

and do not donate the gold straight to Country Treasury!
May be PP should pay for congress members who refuse to do that.
Yeah, the idea is that they pay to the Party President and the Party President later sends the money to the MoF. So that everything is easily accounted.
Party Presidents have been told to do that, the problem is that some of them have not answered so I don't know if all their congressmember are aware that they need to pay their taxes 🙁
Send them eCoffee to wake up lol
Congress? Wait what?
get yourselves a rich CP 😛
jordic = vote 😛
You have successfully donated 2.5 Gold. If the user accepts, the amount will appear shortly in the citizen account.
take it up with the party pres..... 😉
problem is i've sent a message to your party president 3 days ago. and still haven't gotten a response.....
thats not really my problem is it......i can't twist her arm to answer you or can i ?
I've paid the tax as i suppose to ..... if i had a goldmine i wouldn't care and send more gold to the state ....but since that isn't a fact i rather hang on to what i have🙂
well there is still the possibility of her not accepting the donation. if that where to happen you know what to do (see pm 😛 )
done
All done 🙂
