Northern Ireland, I ask for your Vote

Day 970, 17:31 • Published in Ireland Israel

• by Celsius

Hello all,

I am running for a position in the Dail this month. The people of Northern Ireland and Ireland as a whole are my first priority, and I believe I can help them in every way.

Since V2 arrived, I have found it easier financially. This may not be the case for others however. Import taxes on food and grain are fairly high. 99% on food and 30% on grain. In my opinion that is too high. Another thing is minimum wage. We now work hours and not days. The current MW is .10. If you work 8 hours a day, that only .80 you made that day. Thats nearly impossible to live off of and makes it harder to refill your wellness and happiness and also increase training and studies. I will work to increase minimum wage, even if its by a cent. That cent helps regardless.

The Ireland national account is over 10,000 right now. There is no reason to have such high taxes, and with high taxes, you again have Low MG because business owners may be struggling. So I ask for your vote this month to turn the Dail into a Government that cares for the people and their well being. Thank You for reading.

Experience
1x Party President of an American Party that exceeded over 100 members
1x Minister of Immigration of Ireland

My experience may not be alot, but you dont have to have experience to see the problems we face.

Your rehtoric on taxes and minimum wage are off base. All of this smells of only trying to sweet talk votes out of people, imo.

Also I remember you being connected to Ajay in the past. Care to address that?

Sean MacDiarmata Day 970, 19:07

I have to agree with Cpl that parts of what you say are off base, import tax on food for one...thats a must, we have Irish companies supplying food. 30% tax on grain is a must also, we have ND we cant allow companies that setup over there be uncut by foreign gm's.

Wanna give up TD work and come work to me as a harvester up in another country ?

Celsius Day 970, 22:41

@Cpl Useless
I addressed that when it was current news.

@Marcus
I know that Irish companies are a must and Im all for Irish owned businesses, but 30% still on import? The governments not being very lenient on where we can buy goods from

@Paschoall
not really. 😛

If any party really cares, the iron industry needs to be protected from foreign companies that continue to lower the price of iron. I want to see higher import tax on iron (10 percent would be my golden number).

Kavrocks Day 971, 03:11

Commius Why would we protect an industry where we do not have a high region of our own for that industry?

"There is no reason to have such high taxes."
Other then the fact the government loses money each month.

JohnSmith 2K9 Day 971, 05:23

commuis, why in hell would we protect the Iron Industy, we don't have High Iron, it would be stupid
good loook Celcuis
but we have to have High import for food, to stop companis dropping food on our market, and Grain is being put higher over time, its at that stage now, as we only got ND, it will be higher once we settle in ND,

John Gormley Day 971, 06:48

Good luck!

Anthony Colby Day 971, 07:41

I'd say your biggest problem will be having a place to represent once the war module is activated.

irishbhoy1967 Day 971, 07:53

lol @ Anthony

Glenn Wauters Day 971, 08:32

Import taxes for grain are good
99% is needed to stimulate the food economy of Ireland
30% on grain because ireland only has medium and the Dail prob wants to stimulate that sector too

Celsius Day 971, 08:38

@Anthony Colby

I wouldn't say that. Now that Ireland is united, i'm confident its people will see to it that it is protected fully and will continue to be held by Ireland. We can fight for it and keep, if most citizens now how to work with the war module.

Anthony Colby Day 971, 11:56

Don't get me wrong. I am overjoyed that Ireland is united. I have called for it ever since I have been a citizen. I will also fight to keep us united just as I have fought to unite us and I hope fully that you do have a place to represent. The UK will attack and it will be tough.

Celsius Day 971, 12:56

That it will, and we must be ready for it.

Commius Day 971, 17:32

I will tell you why we need to protect our industry's ...because they are ours. And it is difficult to compete to pay good salaries for Irish workers and still sell at a profitable price when foreign companies can produce more and cheaply. What's there not to get?

I have a feeling Kavrocks and JohnSmith just don't care for Ireland's industries.
