**stifles a wry smile**
for the THIRD time today 😉

YOU FAILED!

The law was discussed during the time specified by the protocol, but no concensus was reach on any import tax law. The protocol don't say that we must discuss this forever until everybody agrees with the government.

Dissagreements are ok in sanne democraty.

So dicussion time is over, let the congressmen decide by voting on the proposal. Enough bureaucraty!

Let's get to work here!

And yes I own a ticket company, so I know exactly what I am talking about. This law is to protect ticket company owners and workers.

Wrong. Herbert von Bern it's protecting only YOU. There are only two LOCAL (companies located in South Korea) moving tickets company are selling on the market. One has only 1 employee the other one only has 3 employees. The only one benefiting is the Moving Tickets Company owners who are in Korea not the PEOPLE of South Korea. Corrupt politician is fail.


Way to protect your own investment and pretend like you're fighting bureaucracy or whatever. And to add insult to that, you're pretending like you're helping the good People of South Korea.

YOU failed (again)!

All the local companies are closed because they cannot compete. This is why we need that legislation. We need more local companies. How does this make me currupt! And who said that congress is not there to defend eSC companies, even if there is only one in an industry!

Congress is not a religion defending virtue!!

And sign your articles when posting under your org name!!

You do not need more local moving tickets companies. Each company has over hundreds of moving tickets in stock. No one moves 100 times in a day in South Korea.

The problem is that YOU proposed the law and YOU are the only one who has a moving ticket company. This means YOU can set eye-gouging prices for citizens of South Korea, meaning YOU will be the only one who will benefit off this law, not the hundreds of South Koreans who MIGHT buy a moving ticket.

If you discussed this beforehand with your fellow congressmen, no one would have questioned your motives. But since it's been done with no procedures and the law looks so shady, I can't help but think that you only wanted to benefit yourself.

I'm also fine being anonymous and it shouldn't be a problem unless you're resorting to ad-hominem arguments.

Import taxes discussions have been underway for a long time : check the forum! And it is obvious that there won't be a concensus. Face it!

What you say is an insult to eSouthCorean company owners! Are you assuming that I am the only one able to run a ticket company! I am not THAT good!

Saying that we don't need local moving companies makes you an obstacle to eSC prosperity!! You are a traitor! Are you also going to say that citizens needs to move and find jobs somewhere else? Is that how you see our great country economic properity : to let the foreigners rule the market!

You are ridiculous!

Check Supply and Demand. You're protecting no one by setting higher prices on the citizens. Like I said maybe if you had more than three employees in your company, it would actually benefit South Korea, but you don't.

South Korea does not need billions of local moving tickets company, it just needs a few with a healthy foreign competition which keeps the prices low. There should be government provided jobs and YOU cannot argue about "providing jobs" to employees because there are only TWO people in your company besides yourself.
The prices set right now can be profitable for any Local Moving Tickets company to succeed if they know how to run a business.

Thus, "foreigners ruling the market&quot😢more like healthy free-market competition) is better than having insanely high prices for citizens. There are more citizens in South Korea than business owners when I last checked.

aww lads, play nice now....
/me hides the weaps 😉

Grainne, you so funny. ;P

I own the other moving ticket company in Korea and while I don't agree with Congressman von Bern's tactics I have to agree with him that in the past 2 weeks we have seen the influx of 5 foreign companies where there was previously only 1 foreign company and 3 domestic ones. The prices have gone from a high of 15KRW down to a meager 6 or 7KRW as set by the new foreign companies. I had to fire my employees because we weren't moving any tickets and I was producing more than was necessary. I closed down to avoid just throwing gold at my company while no one was buying local product. I lowered my prices to match the deflation in wages and other products and going down to the level of the foreign companies would just result in us losing a huge wad a cash on each ticket.

And Herb, the thread you posted on was for Weapons import tax. You have been around long enough to know that each motion has its own thread with everything neatly outlined. And if you are going to try to do a rogue proposal to benefit the local companies at least do something beneficial 😛. I don't think a paltry 10% increase in the import tax will discourage anyone.

There is procedure Congressman. Please follow it. Next time also mention that this proposal directly benefits you.

The minute I leave eSK, congressmen-business owners start proposing laws that benefit their own interests. Did you ever see me arguing for a high import tax to protect my domestic companies? Early on I said I'd be OK with a 20% income tax, but didn't mind if it were the same as the income tax either. Fast forward a few weeks, and prices are still relatively high even with all the importing. Hell, even in my personal war with Alfagrem I never once argued we should raise the import tax on food and weapons to try and stop him!

If you can't manage your companies properly to generate a profit, that's your own fault- no reason to make the consumers of eSK suffer for it. When will Herbert get it through his head that a company's employees should not consist entirely of himself and one or two of his buddies? You can throw figures at me all day about how you're making a profit but that's only because you're paying yourself a salary less than what you could making in the free market. A bit of advice to everyone: buy some of your own export licenses- eSK isn't nearly a big enough market to consume everything we produce.

Al Dente and I spilled a lot of ink explaining why foreign importers aren't all BAD BAD BAD but can actually be good for a country's economy, as long as they don't participate in dumping (and a country with only 600 people is a pretty stupid place to dump). I admire Al Dente for sticking around, and hope more people start to listen to him.

Success!

Herbert, I could not find the post you mentioneed until Joseph pointed out that it was buried under the Weapons Import Tax.

It should have been brought up under a separate post.
