[Mongress] Raising Minimum Wage Cuz Reasons...

Right, listen up Retards. Seeing as Appleby and his failed 'Roman' Theme has pretty much killed all life in the eUK (apart from Dappers miraculous Top 5 entry and the 'old guard' rejoining UKRP), I thought I'd go old school on your arses and propose some Congressy shit via article format. Or at least give the incoming Mongressmen something to consider and mull over while they do nothing for the term.

eUK lacks a lot of things in this downtrodden, lacklustre era that we have stumbled into. We find ourselves surrounded on all sides by 'friends' or 'friends of friends', so no prospect of fun in the near future to be found on our borders and nowadays we are far too weak and poor to have a successful AirStrike mission. We are in essence no longer treading water and sometimes taking a big gulp of air, we are struggling and thrashing about while turning blue. All the while sinking deeper down.



But there is one thing we have an abundance of in the eUK.



Multis.



We have shit load of em, all throughout our parties. Look at your feeds for the evidence. It'll be the same people posting week after week after week, yet our top 5 parties all have a minmum of 30+ players! Where are they all? I hear you ask. Good question. They are quietly working away as slave labour for their owners.

Nowadays, from a moral point of view and the state we find ourselves in, I have no objection to em. If you have the need in 2017 to think that eRep and the eUK in particular is worthy of that much time and effort, I say good luck to you. Crack on, lad. But one thing I do have a problem with is the fact they are, lets not say dodging tax, they are paying tax. Just a pointless amount. The established players would always rather tax the honest man. He would rather siphon off the real players, then target (what are most likely his friends) those getting fat off nefarious deeds.







I have no intention of stopping people using multies, nor do I want to discourage those who operate them. After all, they stop our eCountry from looking like a barren waste land. All I want to do is take a bit of their profit and put it to good use (maybe more on that later).


The 'Commune' Myth



I already know what the counter argument will be, it'll be along the lines of 'wah wah, Royal Navy, wah, wah, wont survive, wah, wah'. Communes have always had one purpose. To make the controller of the commune a rich man, ask any ex-commune leader. Dental Corps started life as a 'Commune MU', we soon found out that it was actually a hindrance and very early on stopped it, the rest is history as they as. With the way prices are now, it's pretty much pointless. Not only are you playing the system in order to pay as little tax as possible, you are also avoiding paying VAT. Until The Royal Navy can produce the figures for their 'Commune' system, I will consider that argument null and void.

Therefore, I would like to open up a discussion, in order to propose at a later date, a raise to 10cc to the Minimum Wage. While we have the rise in place, I think it would be prudent for the Ministry of Finance to record the figures for future Mongresses to reflect on (might even give us a good idea of how many multis we actually have, I'll email MWC, he likes maths and shit).







So any objections to raising it?
