A solution to our Problem
During the next few weeks until General Elections, we will announce our policies in a series of articles, in which the citizens will comment their opinions and we will amend our policies.
The Economic Issue in which we currently face here in Canada is, the current demand for jobs and the Government to do something.
So Norsefire is here to answer that demand. Come September 1rst we will create the Q1 Trainers in Housing, Weapons, Gifts and Moving. We know it is costly therefor we have many solutions that will help us in the long run.
These companies will be funded by the Government and will be used only to train citizens to skill 3.00, and they will be fired upon reaching 3.00 skill and must find a new job.
Subsidies will no longer be given to private Q1 companies upon buying the Government Owned Trainers. Instead we will be given no-interest loans to current Trainers to upgrade to Q2, in which the loan must be paid in full within three months. And we will also give no-interest loans to companies, (that have paid their initial loan) to buy 1 export license. This to must be paid in full with in three months.
In order to gain what we lose in making the companies we will raise our current VAT and Income Taxes to 7%. This will be a short time fix until we make up what we lost in the creation of the Q1 Trainers.
We also hope to double whatever is in our Nations gold reserves this month by the end of September.
Any suggestions, Support our policy say so here, and Vote us up.
Comments
This is a horrible idea. How can new companies prosper and find employees and profit enough to do well under these conditions? There are much better ways to spend the hundreds of gold about to be wasted by our party.
For example, I have yet to hear a real reason why my proposals, similar in aspects to the opinions of latro, and investment SO, are not worth attempting, and how they are worse than what you propose.
http://www.erepublik.com/article-520632.html ...... if you would care to comment, on my article or on this one.. but please read the articles out there of different suggestions that will actually work and encourage economic growth for everyone, especially those in lower industries, instead of strangling the profit out of private companies, by taking over the Q1 industries yourself.
All the creation of Q1 Trainers does is create more jobs. In no way is this a why for the government to solely control Q1 Trainers. We will not stop new Trainers from being created. We encourage more Trainers but many citizens do not want to step up to it or have the funds in which to create these companies. And our current Q1 Trainers are trying to upgrade in which others will do the same. By creating Q1 Companies it will get more jobs which is demanded at the moment. Next month the Population will be well over 750. And sooner or later we will have to create these companies if not the economy will be worst. Why not now? Why not next month? The concern now is trying to get unemployed workers jobs. Citizens can take out loans to create companies, but everyone knows that the profit lies with higher Quality products so companies will upgrade. Government owned trainers will always stay Q1. In the long run it will stabilize the economy while the market shapes itself.
I have read many articles on this issue and this policy is a solution in which is 1 of many. We can try anything but what will work, we have tried a lot and nothing prepared us for what we have face today. Policies change to reflect obstacles in which stand in our way, we have to try something in order for us to fix our problem. The citizens asked for a solution and were giving them one, many have voiced in comments others are voicing through Messages and right now its split in half many like others as your self jb oppose it.
Thanks for your honesty and good nature about this.
You fail to mention, however, the minimum wages, the lowering of prices, etc... that others representing your side have discussed.
Will any sort of gifting program be implemented? why or why not?
Whatever you decide, I sincerely hope it works and is best for the Canadian economy, regardless of opinions!
Tantis, the only way the companies will grow is by lowering the minimum wage down to 1 CAD, the lowest of the full CAD.
Here\'s my philosophy and policy on how to change for the better:
Lower mimimum wages down to 1 CAD for the time being and record over a 3 month period. Once that period is finished, find the difference in the rate of production and compare it to the 3 CAD minimum wage before the 3 month trial started. If all is good, stick to the plan and keep on going.
You both bring up good questions. I forgot to add the Reducing of Minimum wage in this article.
But yes we plan to Reduce the Minimum Wage to 2 CAD. To bring down the burden on company owners so they don\'t lose profit and to make reasonable based on current prices for goods.
Robert if citizens can live off of 2 CAD we will try and bring it down to 1 CAD and see how that bodes if it shows promise we will stay with it if not we will bring it up to 2CAD.
As for a Gift Plan. I would like to increase the Wellness of all citizens to 80% through free gifts. I would also like to encourage Company owners to do the same and raise their employees wellness from 80 to 100% to keep good productivity. More of our gift plan will be posted when we post our Health Policy.
As for lowering prices, that will be the job of the market, in order to keep it free the market must no have restraints. I have to admit that a while back I wanted the market regulated but right now that is not something it needs. All Norsefire will do next month will be the invisible hand that guides it, the rest is up to the free market to fix itself.
\"We also hope to double whatever is in our Nations gold reserves this month by the end of September.\"
Please explain Tantis!
Apart from the minimum wage (which we are undecided on as yet), this policy is almost the same as CSD\'s!
However the 7% VAT is a MASSIVE increase. Canadians, do you realise this means?
Right, so this means new citizens will be taxed 7% of their 2 CAD earned, plus they\'ll be paying 7% more in buying products. Ouch.
That or the company owners will have to decrease their prices even further to compensate for the 7% increase, meaning they\'ll probably lose most, or all of their profit margin.
Keep taxes low! Vote CSD!
Well Cottus, decreasing prices a bit shouldn\'t be a problem for business when we lower the minimum wage to save them money and increase demand to increase their profits. But they wont need to lower prices because an increase in taxes will only have a small effect on new players for about a week, which will no longer be felt after they get a government supplied job and training. The CSD will keep taxes low, along with economic growth and profits. Whats 1% of 0 CAD? Thats going to be the average CSD tax on the average Canadian business profit.
(Like I said before) The CSD plans to INCREASE CAD and Gold reserves, pay for all the Q1 Trainers, continue to PAY a HIGH government subsidy to private companies, AND DECREASE the taxes all at the same time? So in essence spend a lot more money while making less? Wow. I would like to see how you plan on doing that... But oh wait, your economic platform is \"secret\". Is your solution perhaps to... print off billions of CAD? CSD policies don\'t make even the smallest of economic sense. Period.
This is what the looney-left is giving us! Keep down the taxes and vote on CPP!!
