The Road to Prosperity
Lexone
I am tired of people not having enough food to fight. I am tired of people having to ask for food. I am tired of people not being able to request food.
Therefore I am introducing The Road to Prosperity.
As of today, not all American citizens have enough wellness to fight. You can join the USAF, a oms funded militia or get food from certain programs.
Yes, they can very easily apply to any of them. However many citizens choose none of the above or can't choose any. Some citizens just don't want to be in USAF or oms militias, 1500 U.S citizens in the US ARMY. 430 U.S citizens in AED. 85 U.S citizens in Liberty Corps. 60 U.S citizens in the Revolutionary Army, and a whole lot of other non funded military units.
Some people are restricted from Meals on Wheels.
Guess what I am above level 25, and when there are not enough bonuses, I do not have enough wellness to fight with. It is not just me, there are plenty of low levels, high levels, middle levels, that do not have enough food to fight everyday. Yet
That's right almost 1.5 million. Why is 1.5 million dollars sitting there? Where is this money being used, and how?
Our representatives say this is our reserve for the invasion. So when we are invaded we don't get bankrupt. This is a blatant lie. Our reserve has been going up when we had 50 regions, 40 regions, 20 regions, 10 regions, and when we had barely any bonuses. Run out of money! Hah!
Lets take a look at our budget for this month. It goes week by week. Hence the usual 100k donation everyday.
So mpp budgets which is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with that.
The almighty military gets 537,500 of our budget or 71.67%. Nothing is wrong with that, unless your not in military... If you are not in military you get nearly nothing, but pay 25% of your salary job, and 5% of your sales on the market. In return congress allocates 1.67% of the budget to the department of interior. In terms of wellness 180 wellness a day for posting a picture on the forums, or if your under level 25, 240 wellness. Something is wrong with that. Now the reserve. Congress chooses to save 150,000 dollars per week. That is ridiculous.
Introducing The Road to Prosperity.
First, U.S citizens shall get their money back. 100k USD will go into Meals on Wheels once a week. The restrictions will be lifted, the amount of wellness given will be increased, the amount of requests will increase. More players getting more food to fight will result in direct growth, and retention. The unfunded units can have their members receive food. There would not be a need of a civilian mu unit, besides the orders. Give wellness to majority of citizens, and America will be stronger. Instead of saving up money and wait for an invasion, how about we use it and improve our citizens!Take the Road to Prosperity.
Second, taxes must be lowered. I am not suggesting massive cuts. I see the need for a reserve, but not when the reserve grows no matter how little bonuses we have. That is why taxes must be lowered to an appropriate rate where the government can support itself, and doesn't strangle the workers. If we have enough money left over to go into a reserve every month that is a success. A tax rate that gives the a fair to small amount to the reserve every month is the optimal solution.Take the Road to Prosperity.
Third,a creation of a training program. Basically a program that gives players an education of the benefits of
and the money to pay for constructing it. When these first came out, I thought gold for 2.5 strength , no way(negative)! Then I realized it was worth the investment. It pays for itself through medals, as well as increasing your damage. I much rather have 1000 medium strength citizens than 80 super elites. Also, a side note to tell citizens to save gold from leveling, and don't buy health packs. Simple message, but it's not in new citizen message.
Take the Road to Prosperity.
What am I going to do about this? Propose this the first day if I get elected into congress. I am running in Wisconsin. There is a problem, I have a solution, I have a plan, and I plan to make a difference.
Everyone can see this plan, no more back room deals in a irc room. Do you want to be part of the solution?

I enjoyed reading this, and agree almost completely. What I do not agree with, is the way you want to use that reserve. People join civilian military corps to be out of the governments control, just like private industries in real life. The money shouldnt go to them, but it should go to the government affiliated programs to provide help for those in private militias, without giving out freebies to private militias. I hope I made that clear enough because I feel like I didnt say what I wanted to as perfectly as I wanted to.
I don't see it as giving it to private industries or freebies. I see it as giving back Americans what is theirs in the first place. Not everyone is going to request only the people who do not have enough food. Only restrictions will be those who already get tax payer money.

>Why is 1.5 million dollars sitting there?
That is because the maximum that can be transferred out of the state accounts is being reached every day. There is no way to extract more than 99999 USD a day.
If elected, I will support this plan.
And 99999 USD only holds AA (for which everyone is eligible) up for two rounds. So a reserve would be useful for high priority battles.
Then garmr why does the budget says 150k is unspent! so 7 days is 700k. If we spent 100k of that on mow or cut taxes that would benefit the whole nation
yes, cut taxes and citizens will have more money for themself
Funny article. Good trolls.

I like this. I'd like to hear more about how.
Not sure I agree, just because I lack information, but I don't believe in deficit spending, and I do believe in a strong rainy day fund.
Its not deficit spending, its spending what is unspent. I'm guessing we make around 800k or so a week, and we can only spend 700k of it. So whatever left over goes into treasury.
