Presidential Statement - Taxes
•
by Ivan Hat
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since I have talked to you recently but the recent announcements by my Vice President’s party have forced me to push this statement out.
Let me tell you how economies work and how important they are for governments to function. Taxes are put on goods, taxes are put on salaries, taxes are put on imports and exports. Where do these taxes go? They go back into the government. What do these taxes do to you as a citizen? Practically nothing. My rival party claims that these taxes are stealing from you. They claim that these taxes are stealing from your hard earned work, where you’re supposed to make 34 CZK instead of 33 or 30CZK. Ladies and gentlemen we are still in inflation. There are huge piles of money on the market, salaries are REDICULOUSLY high, and prices are generally higher than most places on the eWorld. These Taxes are what is helping this government get out of this inflation.
You are not losing anything because of these taxes. You are Gaining a stronger nation. Sacrificing 1-3 CZK isn’t going to prevent you from obtaining a new fancy house. Not having an additional 1-3 CZK is not somehow going to prevent you from eating every day. The Slavic Party claims that my government is stealing from you and is flooding the media in order to “prove” their points.
Do not believe their empty words and listen to the man who has been working in Erepublik since November 30th last year. I was a businessman first before I became a politician. I was a worker in a strict economy in Pakistan before I became a businessman. I was a dirt poor follower of Dio before that. I know what it truly means to feel cheated and undercut in this world and I assure you the situation we are in now can NOT that case. You are living in a growing economy, one that is becoming stronger by the day.
When I first became President the value of the CZK was close to 200CZK per Gold, now it is around 120 CZK per gold! Salaries have RISEN since I became President. Our status in the world has also RISEN. We are closer to having Hospitals in 2 out of three of our territories than we have ever been in the history of our nation. You can thank me and my vice president for that. What my vice president doesn’t want you to know is that you can also thank out TAXES for this glory. Our TAXES are what is bringing in enough CZK to buy the gold which will allow us to buy a hospital. Without taxes we would never be this close to buying a hospital and would have to completely rely on your donations. And obviously the majority of you don’t want to do that so the taxes are doing the job.
The taxes are stealing from you, the government is not cheating you, this President is looking out for you, and this President will lead us into the future glory of the Czech Republic. Thank you and God Bless the Czech Republic

Yes... but you should tax where the real money is, in corporations
and don\'t only give taxes credit for this... what about that whole monetary market idea I came up with?
dr d you probably dont know that corporations dont have any profit since salaries are so high!
show me company owners that make less then their workers
The idea that people should pay government because they work has to be accepted in the realworld, but this world doesn\'t work that way.
Instead of income taxes, let\'s focus on VAT.
You buy things - you pay taxes.
You save money for your own company - how prudent! You don\'t pay taxes.
Youbuy only Q1 food vbecause you can\'t afford Q2? You pay less in taxes.
You can afford Q3? Share the wealth, pay the VAT.
You\'re buying a house?! Great! That means you have loads of cash! Contribute to the budget if you can afford a house!
Edward I have absolutely no problem with what you just said. I plan on raising the VAT. What I dont plan on is completely getting rid of the Income tax. it will remain low as possible but I will not completely get rid of it.
There is no point in having NO taxes in any sector, Low is perfectly fine in all aspects. VAT will be higher than Income, Import will be higher than VAT. and Income will obviously be really low.
Well that makes some sense... as long as you\'re not letting te company owners get too rich
Dr. D, I\'m not someone who runs a Laissez-Faire government. I expect things to cooperate, and shouting NO Income Taxes and refusing to listen to my argument\'s details is enfuriating sometimes.
I AM listening to the Slavic Party\'s arguments and explaining my position and I\'d like some respect when I give my own and I thank you and Edward for discussing this like gentlemen.
you\'re welcome
Be my guest.
I voted against the laws you proposed lately, because they increased the VAT, but didn\'t decrease the income tax.
And it is your right to do so.
