To live and die in the eUS.
•
by Jimmy Cincinnati
Hail Leon Gutierrez, the new Chairman of the Socialist Freedom Party.
Thank Harambe, for showering the eUS in his blessings.
Treasury:
Rosa has questioned the integrity of our treasury.
Some of it was deliberately slanderous, but some of the questions he raised were legitimate. I'm trying to be as transparent as possible. So, let me know if there's anything I didn't cover.
Question #1.
Why hasn't the treasurer made an update, in months? (The treasurer is Frank Stone.)
Answer #1.
There haven't been any transactions. There was nothing to report.
Question #2.
So, why does the SFP keep it's money in a private account? Isn't that hypocritical?
Answer #2. The party doesn't have access to an org. Those are controlled by the executive branch of the government.
Question #3.
Where's the transparency?
Answer #3.
The balance is available, upon request. I'd say that your article constitutes a request.
We have 643 gold, 327446.50 treasury notes, 532508 q1 food, 8775 q3 food, 198 q4 food, 583 q5 food and 305 tanks.
Question #5.
Why isn't the treasurer elected?
Answer #5.
These aren't tax dollars that were are talking about. This is the result of fundraisers, communes and generous donations. Some of us put every dime we make into the party programs. Should we forfeit the money, if we lose a popularity contest? Let us know what you think, in the comments.
Congress:
It's time to seek reelection. I'll tell you what I did last month and then, I'll state this month's goals.
The latest tax increase was met with a massive public outcry. Therefore, I promised to support a lower tax. I can't take credit for the decrease, but I did my part. I messaged congress members in-game, I asked for their help in lowering taxes and I voted for the decrease. So, what do you think of the tax rate? Let me know in the comments.
This month, I'd like congress to consider raising the import tax. There are 100s of foreign companies that are operating in the eUS. The pollution drives down production for everyone else and the extra competition drives down profit. An import tax would make these businesses less competitive and add more funds to the national treasury. Let me know of any potential problems this could cause. Causing trouble is not my intention.
I'd like to run for speaker of the House, if I'm elected to congress. I have administrative experience on the forum and on discord.
I think Blackbower has done well in his last term, but I don't yet know his intentions and I figured that I wouldn't get nominated if I didn't express interest.
Please consider voting for me in the congressional primaries. In the meantime;

All power to Jimmy Cincinnati, a good egg if there ever was one!
Thank you for your devotion, Jimmy.
Jimmy is from an outsider persepctive likely the best public representstive the SFP has. Well done Jimminy
Thanks, man.
I'm just like everyone else. I have my team of 5 tailors hand stich my pants, one leg at a time.
You have my vote, Jimmy. I tried to raise the import tax to 3% but it lacked support from 4 more members to get it on the ballot. It is still pending if anyone wants to go vote.

Although I would never tell somehow to vote I also support a 3% Import Tax. Sadly for personal reasons, my approvals and votes are not counted. Only my voice in Congress should be censured and should not also exclude my approvals and/or votes.
If anyone should be censored, it would be the person who was caught cheating. As far as I know; Animas never considered for censure or blacklist.
Feds don't elect a treasurer either. For whatever that's worth. We keep our funds with someone we trust and that doesn't change until that person asks to be relieved.
This is misleading. Feds and SFP are one and the same. #Elites.
Lollollollollollol @Sfp being called elites
They are a puppet not technically elites. Corrections. Same thing really. lolooooloollooolllol.
:3
The elites want higher taxes. They don't think you know what your best interests are.
So does majority of SFP. Majoriry does not mean all i.e. Rosa, CG.
Really tef? Come on.
Well then, why else is a reformed minded people are banned from discord?
tef1... you mean they ban disruptive elements that interfere with everyone else's enjoyment - wow, just like any other social group then
You're the only RSP member banned, Tef. And that was for poaching members and lying to us about it.
Poaching by minor parties from top 5 parties is a common practice. SFP got to top 5 that way, remember?
Asking is fine - asking on our Discord is not - and telling people SFP leadership is asking them to move to RSP is DEFINITELY not.
That is so terfying.
The true terrifying part is where a select few rotate to power to the point, the ePOTUS cant even come up with a PM that is actually active. Perhaps, one of the elites should apply -- at least we will have a functioning government. Lets not discuss policies yet. That is how low it has gotten.
ROFLMFAO...
The real funny thing here is an inactive Prime Minister. Oh wait, that is tragic. Never Mind.
Good luck trying to install a dictator, Tef. I didn't even mention our military funding.
That is not the idea. It is about restoring stability through non democratic means since democratic means are not feasible.
A good write up Comrade Jimmy!
Thanks and good luck Jimmy!
A moderate import tax increase can really help producers who either pay 100% of their WaM tax in eUSA or hire employees who pay their work tax to eUSA while not driving the prices high.
My suggestion:
Weapons: 2%
Foo😛 5%
Aircraft Weapons: 2%
Moving Tickets: 1%
Houses: 1-2%
Food Raw Materials: 1%
Weapon raw Materials: 1%
Aircraft Raw Materials: 1%
House Raw Materials: 3%
Something in this Direction.
Are Moving Tickets even produced any more? Why 2% on everything but food? Why not simply 3% across the board?
Because some goods are overproduced more than others but, most importantly, also have different profit margins,. For food you earn more than double the cost of FRM and Work Tax.
Houses on the other hand leave you with around 1-4% (guesstimated) profit after HRM and Employee Work.
So, with the same import tax you have different effects on the profitability for the importing person.
FRM/WRM are producable by only paying Work Tax, so the percentual profitability might be higher, but those are usually less profitable per WaM and Gold/CC spent than producing the finished products. (In the case of Weapons/WRM it's actually quite balanced atm)
ARM isn't profitable at all (so no need to tax it) and HRM is produced more than enough in the eUSA. I wouldn't mind however if HRM stays at 1%. Most (of my) HRM sales are made to people travelling to the cheapest offers (I think).
Moving Tickets aren't produced anymore so it doesn't make sense to tax them more than the minimum possible.
@ Marcel; may I add you to a group PM?
okay
Surely you have no personal motivation for wanting to cut down on competition and raise market prices.
No, why should I?
You don't produce anything from which you'd like to derive a greater profit?
No, and especially not after the work tax increase that cost me hundreds of thousand cc.
It didn't 'cost' you money unless you were already in unprofitable or very borderline markets. It may have lowered your profit, but it didn't COST anything.
It costs us (referring to everyone producing anything) money everytime we click this "Start Production" button. The cost is directly withdrawn from your account. So, it costs us millions of profit - or for most people only self-supplying, it just costs their money.
It's not like these Tax-Dollars are generated out of nowhere, they are taken away from people who might need it and actually do stuff with it, instead of letting it rot in possession of some private treasurers who might get banned, go inactive or just steal it.
Things that have never happen certainly could happen, that's true.
And yes, taxes come from places. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, for the vast majority of players (especially the self suppliers you speak of), you can easily get that back from social programs and government combat orders during active warfare.
It's really not super complicated, either.
@ Pfeiffer; won't our production increase?
I can live without imports. They really don't save me enough money to sacrifice my own economy.
At scale, I don't think production will increase. You may have people who say they will make more, but that isn't how things work once you get beyond a handful of people. The vast majority of producers kept on producing when other taxes changed, and I don't see any reason to believe that won't continue.
Thanks for the reply.
Good article. Informative. Kudos
