The Immediate Need for Max Taxes
Customs of Dahomey
I propose across the board max taxes, to rectify the Admins lack of oversight of this game's economy. I will address the need shortly, but the fixable problem first. eAmerica's market has become the discount store for all other countries.
We have the highest wages along with the lowest prices in eRepublik.com...
no graphics needed for these obvious and verifiable facts
It is a case of you, the eUS community just being to damn good in organizing and building the best infrastructure ingame. Let US stimulate foreign markets and make the cost of doing war against US higher.
With our food the cheapest, are we to allow other countries the opportunity to fleece us of our energy, only to use it for energizing their war machine, perhaps to launch an airstrike in your company's organization's state.
And when that happens, our invaders, would have access to the cheapest; weapons, food and housing. And to top it off the highest wages...
What motive would they then have to leave. No need to politically takeover with the policies in place, squatting on eUS would be easier...
Let's fix this problem before the reality sets in.

I want to start a thread and give the appearance I know what I am doing
us = use
its the nuclear symbol, click it and put it between the brackets
Or type [.spoiler=title] stuff to be spoiled [./spoiler]
Without the . that is inside the BB tags
vote
Voted if you can get a couple other larger countries to do the same 😛 but totally agree i mean i like it buuuttt
For the record other than protesting to plato i disagree with a tax hike any higher than it is now since we do have the highest production causing us to be the "market of the world" in the sense
Also i would only support an increase in import tax to promote eUS companies only if it was reasonable and we could support it
I don't understand how your proposal will help, Major.
Jacking our work tax to 25% will piss off every eAmerican who uses work-as-manager, and cause every eAmerican employer to lose their employees. It will have no effect on forigs who have setup housing supply chains here. They don't pay any tax to the US treasury, afaik. Forigs who have setup a WaM operation will pay, though.
Having cheap(er) goods and being the market place of the world is good for our treasury. That means our VAT skims thousands off of everyone who buys here to resell in their own country.
You might do better to encourage people to invest in export licences. I have a three licences and make substantially more profit per item selling that way than dumping goods locally for minimum profit. Market turnover is a lot lower than in the US though.
So really, I think your issue is the number of people with US market licences. That can't be controlled or limited. We are one of the few large economy countries with low import tax. Tats probably why people buy a US licence (I had one before I migrated). Increasing import taxes may solve the market overload "problem".
But what is wrong with low prices? That's good news for buyers!
When the invasion comes and there are no weapons for use to defend ourselves, no energy to fund a counter airstrike, no affordable housing to store energy for a big push and those butts squatting on us, trolling as we are forced to travel and buy their weapons at their prices... I dare you to vote NO on Max taxes, our butt smother citizenry will have a record of who let them down!
Trite that argument is void. Less taxes and a cheap market means people can provide for themselves, while the government helps the new people. Max taxes is unacceptable since nobody over level 50 ever sees any benefit.
Exactly, our enemies want to void us,I want to avoid the obvious setup the Admins have orchestrated for us to be butt smothered by squatters...
do not let your revolting council unwarranted hostility toward me blind you to the dangers facing eUS...
p.s. it was a setup, ,if I had multi hunted for that revolting group, I would have been forced to report my own party members, yes you have some devious members,,,
Look I'm not going to even pretend to tell you I have a clue what you just said. Nothing I said was partisan in the least. It's basic economics. I'm sorry to have poked a hole in your fleecing the eUS plan.
If my party uses multis, so be it. But don't be a hypocrite about it, every single other party uses them. Go crusade somewhere else, I could not even think to care less. Personally I have no knowledge of sfp multis, but if you want to keep beating that drum, so be it.
for the record, I volunteered to help the sfp when a member, Wooky insisted I multi hunt for the party. According to the Stoner's criteria I would have been reporting Dylan10 and Austin11, I chose to stick to my stance that the Stoner's policy off multi hunting might end up have active players banned. I did the right thing and declined.
Again I propose to do the right thing and protect America from even the most unlikely of events, how more ridiculous is that than multi hunting?
For the last time, your tax plan has no real effect than to fill the government's coffers that almost never come back to benefit those that pay the most. I'm not sure where I'm losing you here, but I'm thinking it's at 'for'.
Also, I don't care about multis. Or what you did in sfp. Or whatever your butt is smothered in.
of course you care, you keep coming back and no one in your party cares what the other members do in your party, that is how it has become such a mess...
Haha, ok man. But the real story here is your article is trash and you're mentally imbalanced
better than being a balanced sore loser...
You make some excellent points.
I have a lot to think about.
finally someone who aren't afraid to tell it like it is!!!!!
The Politicians are weak, they are too afraid to put up the taxes because of special interest., i know because i try to lobby the politicians to keep the taxes low.
Btw: please don't put up the taxes.. they should be lower.
this article is the content equivalent of pooping in the river you drink from. You also have manufacturers, not every foreign manufacturer in there is a foe of the USA. So why kill of the entire economy of the world . To proof a point?
actually, we have our own spring, and the rights to it's water shed. Bears, deer and such do, do do there..
You would kill of the commune of your ally Ireland thanks a lot sir. Although yes I can produce weapons without wam clicks and paying exorbitant work taxes(which we wont by the way) I cant produce the WRM i need to build these weps and therefore much buy it causing even more pressure on me.
In all do respect, shouldn't I worry about US first and allies second. What good are we as an Alley if we are buried under our own ignorance?
claiming it would hinder your adversaries doesn't constitute proof. can you quantify your claims. why would this hurt countries like Serbia where the treasury have been siphoned off for years. also how would this stop ppl that sell packs to fund their military endeavors or people that bought large amounts of money in the past who no doubt dont even bother to work in factories.
if you can find 5 % foreign offers on each page i would be surprised more likely who you will hurt would be your own factory owners.
Horse hockey.
polo, a very good analogy, with the amount of crap a concerned patriot has to take to air his concerns
if the big problem is that our low priced market is open to forigs, presumably enemies who would use those savings to harm us in a scare tactic scenario... just jack up export taxes and/or embargo those specific enemies.
True enough, thank you for a reasoned response
*insert Kemal Ergenekon here*
Also, you either have absolutely no idea how this game works - or you're a forig agent trying to screw our economy.
Or you spun a wheel and were required to write this article
Move to Canada. This article was a lame attempt at lulz.
oblige pay you to troll fingerguns' spin game articles?
This isn't part of my challenge but since fingerguns mentioned the wheel in the comments better safe than sorry.
