State of the Economy, Proposals
•
by Archibald
Our economy is currently recovering, but it still hasn't stabilized from the effects of the war. Wellness drops have caused demand to far exceed supply in some areas, particularly Housing. The Food market is stable. We have a decent amount of supply, and prices are steady. Gifts are reasonably-priced. Moving tickets are still a little expensive. The focus of my administration is currently on improving the Housing situation.
There are two proposals I am sending to Congress today:
Weapons Taxes
I am proposing an increase in the import tax for Weapons to 60%. We are no longer at war, and our domestic companies are providing supply at all quality levels. This is a proactive measure to prevent our companies from being undercut in the near future.
Housing Taxes
I would like to decrease the import tax on Houses to 30%. This is to encourage foreign companies to sell on our market. There have been signs of life from some of our lower-quality Housing companies lately, so this measure is specifically to provide affordable higher-quality houses for our citizens.
My administration is also working to move our skilled Housing employees to higher-quality companies. We are also contemplating using bonuses as incentives to our housing employees, if necessary. We will be monitoring this market vigilantly in the coming days.

Continue to send in your applications for the new Cabinet positions and nominations for our Author Laureate. I have gotten a decent response so far, but I will keep these open for now. Cabinet meetings are set to begin this week. It's been a busy first two days on the job, and rest assured your government is working for you.

any word on subsidies/cheap loans for export licenses?
and will the government have a department where GM\'s can ask for business advice?
(e.g. which countries to export to)
I have a couple programs I\'d like to put into action once our economy stabilizes. Export licenses is one of them. And yes, I would be glad to help any GM that has trade questions about which countries to export to, etc.
As a note to our Congressmen, I can\'t set the Income and VAT taxes to 0 when making a change, so that is the reason for the 1% value on those.
I\'d think we should focus on keeping products in our own market until there\'s a surplus, Peter Green, then look towards exporting.
agreed.
what about international policies??
good call on housing and weapons taxes.
Watch the weapons companies as well. I\'m trusting you on this, but I\'m worried about when we go to war, for obvious reasons. We already how high those prices can get for one weapon. Good start.
Ron don\'t over-exaggerate. 2 gold for one weapon is nothing in comparison to what I have seen in other markets. Peter Green, expect a PM. Frankly, I liked the weapons tax where it was -- sort of like somebody was watching over my shoulder, but I guess this\'ll do. Housing tax was necessary.
Just don\'t cut housing taxes too much- There are already a good deal of companies getting into the housing market just as fast as possible, cutting it too much is just going to harm new domestic investments.
probably (i dont have interest in it, to be clear)we should wait a second for the house cut...
not only me, but i noticed a few new companies...maybe let them a bit of time, to sell to upgrade, and then we could have an auto-regulated internal market, efficent enough, to resist to a lowering taxes policy...because nothing prevent also lower quality dumping in our market, and a start up can\'t compete with a dumped product
just my 2 cents...
Terrence, it\'s not like we\'re giving foreign companies exports. Domestic companies will still have the 30% edge, and the fact that people will tend to buy from American companies.
was just a thought 🙂 i dont expect any of my thought are cool 🙂 some are freak monsters aborted from my mind in time of heavy stress 🙂
