hello, i joined several days ago and am very interested in getting involved politically. i'm a college student and taking Macro Economics so this game is really facinating to me. i'm very much against VAT taxes because such taxes hurt the poor more than the rich. especially the VAT tax on food. its true that as you grow stronger you no longer rely on food as much but for new players who are poor they need the food so the VAT tax counterproductive. i believe that government should stay out of the economy. i believe that Welfare programs need to be funded by private donations. the role of government is to protect its people, provide healthcare for its people...to that end i'd like to see a hostital and defense system in every state. i am pro local and state government this game does not have much local or state governments which is ok though frustrating for a conservative like me. I know this would be something game admins would have to do but i believe the people should have the chance to present their ideas to congress in the form of initiatives....just like real initiatives, the game initiatives would requires x number of signitures to be put before Congress to vote. these are my beliefs. as for my goals, i currently reside in California, but my home is Washington State....so i'd love to one day run for office there. right now i'm a 3.3 skilled worker in a weapons manufacturing plant earning $7 a day.

Much like RL should do. Down with welfare that is just waisted money going to lazy people that are contributing to the federal deficit. No offense if you know someone who is or has been on welfare, as two of my cousins have been. *lazy* lol. Although, they should cut welfare and strengthen medicare and other programs that support disabled workers/ ederly. As for the game. Welcome and glad to have you with us. Awesome to know that you are in economics for college. That is a huge asset for you and the party. If you are interested in an opened cabinet position let me know. you seem qualified and active. And we need to fill the cabinet. TTYL, Party President Cloyd Wallis
