Hello everyone. There is a lot of BS, misconceptions, scare tactics, and flat out lying regarding the minimum wage increase and how it is going to affect the economy and military communes.
Im not going to wade through the dredges and regurgitate the bile that has been spat about from people that are so saturated with their own self-interests that they drown in their own greed long before doing something for eAmerica first.
Here is the TRUTH :
As far as military communes are concerned. Myself and others in Congress have done a detailed analysis about the effect that raising the minimum wage to various numbers would have on the military/militia communes using classified information about EXACTLY how much the wage increase would affect ALL of the major parties involved. We had the EXACT numbers of what they are paying their members of ALL of them. That information is classified and I will not give out the numbers but here is the reality :
Raising the minimum wage WILL have POSITIVE effect on ALL military communes and at worst a neutral affect on militias.
I can hear it now, " But (insert persons name here) told me that its going to cost more to pay the commune workers and thus affect our available revenue!!! "
Yes...but that is only half the story. Here is the other half that the self saturated ones dont want you to know.
There are by some estimates over 1,000 people that only pay .18USD in tax. .18 USD. Raising the minimum to 4 USD will make them pay an additional .74 USD a day in taxes. Simple math time :
.74 USD x 1,000 people = 740 USD in additional daily revenues.
The military gets 75% of the total budget. Simple math x2 :
75% of 740 USD = 555 USD in daily revenue increases to the military budget.
I do happen to know the exact numbers of exactly how much each branch pays its communes. For operational security reasons, I will not disclose that information. But rest assured that there are communes in the military that already pay all of their workers above 4 USD a day.
Lets use some common sense, people. Dont rely on those that are so blinded by their own interests that they would destroy anyone to get what they want.
The increase in minimum isnt going to hurt anyone. Lets break it down Barney style :
- People that have been evading the taxes, which is perfectly legal, will only pay .74 USD more a day...that is nothing...not even one single Q1 food.
- Regular business will not be affected in the slightest because the lowest job offer for Q1 is over 2.5x the new minimum wage. Its not going to force up labor costs at all.
- Communes arent going to hurt, because they are going to get increased revenue due to the increase.
Furthermore, all this is going to do is increase revenue WITHOUT RISING TAXES.
This is a win - win - win in the truest sense of the word. Dont fall for the BS. Its going to hurt noone.

Personally I think the military is getting enough funding already, either that funding is not being used well or too much is going to tanks I don't know. I think that half of the budget should be going to free food programs for civilians which would give us huge boosts to quick damage in battles and retention.

its too bad noobs do not reach out to retention programs more. Maybe the Mil does need more funding I have not been getting a lot of food or weapons lately
Wow! I guess I never thought about the income tax. Nice article princefigs! Voted and subscribed!
"Lowering the food and weapons that they are giving out their way of throwing a temper tantrum for finally having true Congress that enforces the separation of powers and isnt simply a rubber stamp for them."
Wut.

Anyways, prices and wages have been dropping, just look at the markets. If the cost of production (wages and raw materials for manufactured goods) rises above the market value of the good, then employers will stop hiring because they can't lower their wages enough to combat the fall in prices. $4 is two to four times HIGHER than any other major nation in the world. Also, changing the Minimum Wage does NOT automatically boost the wages of employees who were working below $4 before the change, so those companies have an advantage now as their cost of production is below what newer companies/newer employees can have. Congress is already considering lowering the Minimum Wage as the economic module adjusts (company owners being able to work in all their companies, which may make some people self-sufficient).
While your efforts are admirable, at least you are thinking about helping the military by boosting revenue, don't forget that there all sorts of eAmericans out there, not just soldiers. Raising the Minimum Wage may have other affects such as removing some independence that some citizens wanted.
