Why I Chose to Resign and Some Congressional Issues
•
by NoneSuch
In response to the message I just received I've decided to explain myself to the populace. I'd also like to point out a few things happening in congress right now that aided my decision to resign.
I chose to resign for a number of reasons. My main reason being that my words no longer carry the same weight. I realize that 51 people are a lot of congressmen and some people are going to get drowned out, but I'm really disappointing so see who have come out on top. My second major reason for resigning is that I'm making too many enemies and the majority of them are the people that have come out on top that really need to be taken down a notch.
I quote, "forgive my ignorance here but what the hell is an MPP?" I won't give a name, but seriously? I feel sorry for the people this man is representing. He's gone on to become one of the more vocal congressman now which I really have an issue with.
One of the other reasons that I resigned which should be of major concern to some people is the amount of people that are trying to push their own agendas rather than do what's truly best for the country. I used to do the same right after I got my diamond company, but I soon realized what I was doing and changed my views immediately. I was blinded by thinking that what was best for my diamond company was best for the diamond industry but the two are completely un-related.
I quote again, "I have to pull money 'out' of the wood company to pay employees at the housing company. That equates to double taxation." This was posted while we were discussing the currently proposed wood tax. I only wish I was lucky enough to have two companies.
I could quote some more and give out some more reasons why I resigned but I'd rather not waste any more of your time. So if I had to give you all a simple, condensed answer, it comes down to there being too much corruption and drama. I really don't like dealing with either and until something is done, little will be done in terms of us having a working congress.

Thats to bad
Maybe you should not resign and instead try an aggresive campaign against corruption in Congress. Call out the foul players and make the common folk see what they have done.
A little late for that Vlad
Well If I make it to congress thats going to be one of my top priorites. Also look at my article, A worker Man's voice. It made top 5 because of my excellent marketing skills. Its not that good but I have a habit of making ok things seem better.
i voted
I hear where you are coming from. Maybe you should call some of them out so they will not get re-elected
Yup, seems like politics are now used for personal advantages not as a whole.
Since I don't plan on re-running anytime soon I should call some of them out...
Yeah, I love when people are held accountable.
Remember our little argument 🙂
I've never let it down Vlad.
This makes sense NoneSuch...but, it makes me want to cry...
Politics seem to be going to hell. And Nonesuch! You are one of the brightest minds! Your vote will be missed.
Does anyone else think that we should form a supernation?
So you are still angry at me NoneSuch?
Billy how can we form a super nation?
Not really, I'm trying to let old grievances die.
Great because Im over it. We can now be friends. Also did you like my paper?
You wrote a good article IMO. I'd a little jealous at how many subscribers you have though.
Well NS, I must say, I cannot support or condemn what you have done. Given the circumstances, you did what you felt was right and I do not see it as dishonorable at all.
May this begin a new issue in eUSA: Elected Officials Lacking Intelligence. Hopefully NS has opened our eyes to look at credentials before we promote them or endorse them to the higher positions of government. Seriously tough, I personally know who asked "What does MPP stand for?" and although I understand you have to start somewhere, it's definitely not in our government!

I understand your position, but I really wish that you would have stuck around. No BS, but you were in the top-5 congressmen, NS. I hope that you still actively participate man.. I'll miss you in congress if you don't.
.
Bad timing btw.
NoneSuch could you please post your opinion in my article. About the corrupt officals. I would really like that and It would get a lot of attention with my large subscriber base.
Like I told you before, i am very disappointed you felt that you had to do this. You always handled yourself well in congress and it will be that little but worse now that you are gone.
Having said that, I respect your decision to resign, as you felt that you had no other choice in this situation.
As to the issues that you mentioned, I too have noticed these things. I let things settle down after the elections to see what happened, and it has become more and more clear that there are issues in our congress.
There are too many people looking out for themselves or looking to advance themselves. Recently I have begun to question these actions, but I get the feeling that the things that are annoying or angering me about certain congressmen are maybe making me harsher than I mean to be when dealing with all congressmen.
I really don't want to paint all congressmen with the one brush, but I am currently angered so often that I may turn on the wrong person occasionally.
What we need in congress is people who are looking out for the eUSA as a whole. Our President sets a good example - he has interests in every industry practically, but he can detach himself from that when making decisions regarding the country.
I would encourage you to challenge some of the people who you feel are the chief offenders. If it happens that they are not re-elected due to that, then you are doing the country a favor.
@Vlad - We are all very impressed with your 'awesome marketing skills' but please stop rubbing it in peoples faces how you have a 'large subscriber base' and people should comment on your articles. It seems kinda needy. And it made me unsubscribe..
You're still invited into the constitutional rewriting committee
And you can go to Micheal Lewis' convention
To me this seems like you are throwing a fit instead of facing the issue. Why didn't you post a thread about it on the forum and get a discussion going? I think many would have joined you in trying to make sure the focus was the country, not your personal interests.
I could have. But like I said, my voice wasn't as strong as I'd hoped and I truly didn't want to deal with the drama.
it was a good run, nonesuch, sorry to see you go.
While wrong, it is human nature to use position to gain advantage. Without honest thoughtful people willing to stand up to this kind of corruption it will in time get worse not better. If NoneSuch is truly against this misuse of power, then resigning his position is a shame. When faced with corruption good people have a responsibility to work to defeat it. just my opinion.
Everyone here has good points, but I fully respect your decision NoneSuch. During your tenure as Congressman, I respected your proposals and representation for Americans. You were one of the few voices of reason in the clout of politics and special interests.
"There are too many people looking out for themselves or looking to advance themselves. Recently I have begun to question these actions, but I get the feeling that the things that are annoying or angering me about certain congressmen are maybe making me harsher than I mean to be when dealing with all congressmen.
I really don't want to paint all congressmen with the one brush, but I am currently angered so often that I may turn on the wrong person occasionally."
Agreed Angrr. Combine that with the new players who understand little of the game mechanics, and we have one headache of a senate.
NoneSuch, I really respect your opinion and intelligence on a lot of issues. We need more people like you in our country. I hope you don't get too discouraged and that you continue to make your voice heard.
Yeah. The level of congress has slipped.
51 congressmen are fail.
I called it
Miles away.
But Nooo.
😑'
I have you all know that I'm not running for congress. This is bull.
corruption is always gonna be there until they can get payed for being a congressmen
We do get paid for being a congressperson. 5 gold to be exact.
So long, nonesuch. If elected, I will try to continue your legacy to fight against corruption and do what's best for the nation.
And Jtree, thank you for apologizing, that was the right thing to do.
Corruption, drama and having no real voice is the major reason why I gave up on politics in this game.
And yet this article doesnt even bother to explain what an MPP is... so off I go in search of...
