Why I'm running for Congress in the Dublin Region.

Day 610, 14:01 Published in Ireland Ireland by Tarazis Sati

In politics the most important question that can be asked of any potential candidate for public office is: why? Why do you want to be a congress-person/President etc. It can lead to verbal diarrhoea and can sink a campaign or make a candidacy. So I'm going to try and explain why I am running and what I hope to achieve if I am elected to congress and not sink my campaign in the process.

In RL I'm studying International Politics, this is what attracted me to this game in the first place, to see what kind of political structure people would build if given the chance to do so from the beginning. It is remarkable how people in a lot of ways recreate the world that they understand. I know that you don't see this but I'm having a big geek out session with it. But one thing is true, I like playing this game and I feel that I know enough at this point to stand up and offer my services at a congressman for the Dublin region.

Being relatively new I fully accept that I don't know all of the nuances of this world and so I will make this promise, that If I don't know what I'm talking about I will tell you I don't know and look for help from my fellow citizens and congresspersons. I will also work towards getting the IUP manifesto implemented. I will also publish how I vote on each issue so that people, that you the voter will be able to see where I finally stand on each issue.

Economy.

I believe that we should work to help create production pf materiel here at home, so i would recommend two things.
1.the creation of a national investment bank, this bank can invest in business here at home and help those who have an idea and the drive to start a business.
2.That the import tax on materials be reduced, protectionism doesn't work. We can support local industry through subsidies either in the stock that they have to purchase or in the products they sell. This is a win-win situation for consumers as it will reduce the cost of living.

Defense.

As many of you already know I disagree with our present governments policy of neutrality. I believe that we should choose to stand up and be counted with our friends.

But because that this present policy isn't going to be changed any time soon. I propose that our government contacts other nations who have chosen to stand apart and remain neutral and form an alliance of pure defense.

The treaty can be simple, It should recognize the territorial integrity of all member states. That an attack on one member state is an attack on all and that all will respond to defend the member attack. That this treaty is valid only for the duration of this present war between PEACE and the eUSA & eCanada.

Health

I thing that the national gifting program should be continued. But I think that efforts should be made to help citizens increase the quality of those things which help increase health like housing. I've no definite proposal on this but I think that we could look at this instead of just gifting wellness.

Now I don't think that ever new player should get a house or help buying one, but say for example everyone over level 8 should be able to get 25% of the cost form the state if they have 75% of the cost of a Q1 house.

Now I know that all of my proposal are uncosted but I think that they are points which are worth looking into.

Well I think that I have taken up enough of you time, I would appreciate it if you would vote up this article. And even if I haven't persuaded you to vote for me on election day, I do urge to to vote. It is one of the most important action you can do here in the eWorld.

Thank you for taking the time to read my paper.
