Do you know why you should choose me?
No?
Well because:
I think we need to lower import taxes, because it is now very hard to import to Canada, as we have taxes at 99% except Iron, which is at 50%. If you want to import to Canada, you have to pay a lot of money. Ex: You import some Stone. Stone is priced at 0.02 CAD. With a 99% tax, that is about 0.04 CAD per unit. Now imagine you wanted to import 2000 units, at 0.02 = 20 CAD. Now, due to tax, that costs 40 CAD. what company owner wants to export to Canada now? We will then increase our foreign relations with other EDEN members. Plus, Poland is the most powerful country in the game, and their taxes are at 5%. I don,t think ours should be that low for all, but more around 30-40%.
And of course, I will try to do my duty with the usual donations and printing.
(This WILL happen again! We WILL CRUSH the United Faildom! EDEN WILL WIN!)
All alliances will be voted yes, as we need as many friends as we can get. And ars too, but we already have opened all wars possible vs PHOENIX, so...
So, summed up: Lower Import Taxes on as many things possible; Usual boring stuff like printings and donations; and as many alliances and wars as we can get and fund. And, I am super active, and most certainly NOT a 2-clicker. Or a butt, like 1ronman and Tem.
Please vote for me!

Good Luck Beeman
Though Id personally like to hear and see more argument about lowering imports. Id hate to see us dabble with eCanadian companies at stake without some of our erep economists making the case. Just a question in that if we lower imports on 1 sector wouldnt we be killing it because they wont be able to compete with the other sectors as all workers are basically the same now seeing as there are no skills, just levels. Wont we be lowering wages and perhaps forcing our foriegn workforce to look for greener pastures?, wont we be making a worker shortage worse? Wont we be making erep as a game to new eCanadians less interesting if they are making even less money. Again these are questions that I would like to see more discussion on by experts.
I just remember from personal exp when the government lowered food taxes, it flooded the market with foriegn food companies and I had to lower wages to just stay in bussiness. I guess one could also argue maybe we should be ok with killing a few sectors until we have the workforce and consumers to support it.
hmmm....I think people are starting to listen

Best of luck. I was happy to see you got elected already, and hope your string of luck continues.
