Presidential Congress - Address #3
Ivan Hat
Ladies and Gentlemen this will be quick since I am currently in between classes
-The Anthem ends and President Ivan Hat walks into the congressional meeting and begins his quick speech-
I would like to discuss the economic and militaristic trends in our economy. Today we slipped, once again, on the total nation scale.
Considering we are in an inflation and the food prices are of appropriate standing to the wages being given I believe that every citizen needs to become a soldier in case our national security becomes in danger. The fact that our total average strength is under the 2.00 Point mark is completely unacceptable considering how long this nation has been around. You do not need to train regularly if your wellness is low but you SHOULD train regardless in case of an attack or the need to export soldiers comes up. We are a neutral nation but we have a chance of not even BEING a nation if our strength is so low. We cannot rely on foreign aid completely in this divided world. It might not be much but the little help our citizens put into this situation the chances of our survival will increase dramatically. Do we want another Hungary-Czech war where we will be obliterated the second the foreign support begins to slow or do we want to be able to sustain ourselves long enough to reach a compromise? I think the decision is obvious, CZECH CITIZENS BECOME SOLDIERS AND TRAIN DAILY TO IMPROVE OUR NATIONAL SECURITY.
Secondly I wish to talk about taxes. My personal beliefs is that we need HIGHER taxes in order to increase the flow of money inward so we can thusly burn it and lower the inflation. But I also feel that we need to “lower” the taxes slightly on the domestic front where most of the business is coming from. Any of your thoughts Gentlemen and Ladies??

I think, we don\'t need higher taxes. If we will have high tax, wages must be lower, or prices will rise. Now salaries are on profit border for companies owners. (I means Gifts, and Food. House, and tickets have some perpectives to heng on higher taxes, without prices rise.)
Czech tax, colecting ~1500, sometimes ~2000 CZK per day. It\'s max 60k CZK per month. It\'s quite good, because nobody gives donate to treasury. In last cadention, we collect max ~1000 CZK per day, with 60% taxes. And Baci was burned that much CZK (~90k), only because he had many donations. But look on the one thing, we had then very hard economical situation. And twice less GPR than today.
I think that during peace periods, taxes should be generally as low as possible and that current 10% income tax rate is a little too high. However, in the present situation, when we have to battle inflation, it should stay that way for the reason the President mentioned - to burn money.
Hey ivan where is my propose?!
I think that rising import tax even morewould be nice.
Local companies are producing v.good stuff in all sectors and we dont need foreign goods now. That will help new companies around czech republic ( situation with tickets where greek company is lowering prices all the time...and local ticket companies cant lower them ( becouse of high salaries in Czech Republic..)...and in connection with other eCountiers...we have low import tax. (i Know i know..60%...but thats low for me 😁)
Greetings
i am for higher taxes too. it would be nice if we had 20-30% tax and we shouldnt burn it all instead we should give some help to smaler companies so they could sell at lower prices, becouse biger companies can sell at lower prices and still have profit than smaler companes.
and we should make higest salary or even standard becouse one small company cant afford to pay its worker more that he/she produces.
99% import tax. 🙂 I agree!
We have enought food, gifts, tickets, and rest of goods. We don\'t need help. 🙂
Salary standarisation is good idea. We should calculate it.
I\'d imagine the reason that most of the Czech Republicans don\'t train is because they can only afford Q1 food, so they can\'t work and train every day. Every day they\'ll be losing one wellness. At least that\'s why I didn\'t train when I was starting out. When I get a house for myself, I\'m sure that I will train again.
99% import tax is a really good way to slit our throat, it isn\'t going to work if we try to be self relient at the same time or economy is in shambles... and what do you mean by Salary standardization? If you think a minimum wage should be established then i\'m all for that. But if you want to set a maximum salary then I say no.
Also, I would like to request an end to the \"Let\'s burn our money\" policy... We should keep the money in the government for a rainy day
Personally Gentlemen I feel we need to actually donate gold to the Czech Treasury. We practically have pennies worth, its a very sad sight to see.
Well mr. President, I have a personal philosophy... no country should ever be entirely dependant on the charity of it\'s people... we need to make a way to get gold without donations
Ah yes, but it wouldn\'t hurt if citizens did help if they had the extra coin lying around. I don\'t want high taxes, don\'t like them. Import tax is something I am willing to let slide at a medium rate (below 75😵 because I too believe in our country supporting ourselves (but we should never go into a economic isolation).
I would very much like to see people train for the military. At least once or twice a week would be great, because at lower levels they would progress much faster. Maybe if the government can set up a gifting company to \"gift bomb\" people who reach below 20-30 wellness so our citizens don\'t have to suffer from training and working.
We need import tax >90%, because for what and why companies from other countries will making money in czech? Why firms from other countries, not from czech republic?
Also, income tax could stay on 10%.
It makes sense to me if they are a large corporation, wanting many money revenues. But I don\'t really like having import tax higher than 75% (even that\'s stretching it), because if we have a food/gift/weapon/etc shortage when we really need it, the companies won\'t be there as a crutch as we get our own companies healed.
stream line you dont need any help but maybe some smaler companies do need it, becouse workers that produce only 2,5 food demand salary 16czk!
Janjordy, I know, low level salaries are too high.
We should answer ourselves the question, what are the tariffs for? The tariffs are meant to protect strategic sectors of our economy from foreign companies using dumping prices. They also can be used to encourage foreign companies to sell us cheap goods which we cannot produce on our own.
At the moment our prices are right, although Congressman Piranha pointed out not all citizens can afford Q2 food - actually with the avarage pay of 16 CZK and Q2 food costing between 7 and 7.5 CZK most citizens can easily afford Q2 food now.
Our current problem is the weapons sector - we need lower tariffs for weapons to get foreign arms and lower income taxes and VAT to encourage Czech investors to establish companies.
Every citizen can buy for avarge salary Q3 food. And problem is, we can\'t produce enought Q3 food, and companies from Romania sell in Czech food for much gold.
This is problem, trade agremment with Romania. We have two importers from Romania, and one Ticket importer from Greece.
\"Janjordy, I know, low level salaries are too high. \"
@StreamLine dont you remember who started to increase wages in companies?? Huh..
sream line you have started with rising salaries! and my workers are leving me becouse you pay them more than i can afford!
so be silent becouse you started it and we have to suffer for it!
lol next flame war. You cant pay them because, you still have too small prices, smallest than rest companies. Salaries are too high, because prices are lower, than some time ago, but salaries still that same.
I\'m wasn\'t started it, I only tell you what economy works, free market works. You tell me \"It will ruine Czech economy!, This will ruine CZK value!\". And what? Nothing, CZK stand at 0.005. Economy works good. So my words was true. But you can\'t admit, you don\'t have right.
And as always, you starts scream, and blame. so stfu. And tell me once again, you have economical education, I like this.
To NW@ I want give workers chance to earn some gold in normal time, and I give it to them. They are happy, and think what you want.
i am selling food cheap becouse i cant sell it any other way! dont you get it? if i set higher prices i wont sell anything.
I see you selling food, I see you have profit, I see rest of Q1 companies selling food too, and don\'t have many foods in stock. So I\'m don\'t understand wtf.
but you dont see that i am in debt! i needed gold to open this company and i still havent returned it.
It\'s not my fault, but free market fault. I don\'t know why you blame me.
Gentlemen! We\'re in The Congress fo haven\'s sake! Address the issue, and go solve you personal grieviences in a different thread, please.
