Posted December 22, 2016 First of all businesses will obviously invest, thats how they get lots of money, through interest. What other ways do they get profit. You get the point. I have a serious question though, how are small businesses going to get the loan and what are the requirements? To be honest we have no proof that lower taxes causes higher crime rate or vise versa. (Go to paragraph 4 where I explain that) How does higher tax rates make people lazy you say, basing off this experience and contacts all my family in Norway are just sitting in home enjoying their life and one of them is building a house in Kosovo worth €200,000. My dad quit his job (for health issues) and is now living off jobseekers allowance (and other benefits like housing) and all he has to do is apply for a few jobs every month. This is a big problem in NI. I'm not saying it is impossible to not make people lazy. If you look at England's jobseekers system it is a very good one, I'm not going into England's way of doing it though, research your self. I just explained how England can keep its high taxes. If you see Dubai they have 0 income tax and only tax things that are necessary and they still have very little crime, they were able to buy fucking Lambos for there law enforcement how crazy is that?They acctualy have a problem of expensive cars that are unowned. They are also thriving and you can just see it by the buildings they have built. Though we will probably never know if high or low taxes are good in the long run because the governments seems to change it every few years. BTW remember the econimic crisis in 2008, where banks went bankrupt and that millions of people lots there homes and businesses went bankrupt. ALL THE SYSTEMS FAILED, calling them dips is a understatement, my dad home went from costing £100,000 to £60,000. Just imagine other buildings. USA is in trillions in debt same with UK ( this is what is making our taxes a bit more higher). It will obviously get out of debt unless deglobilisation happenes (brexit, Donald Trump) which who knows what will happen. You can't use Freddo's as an example because taxes change all the time, and you can use the example of hitting a kid because of the same reason. I'm pretty sure people wouldn't want to go to school so more tax cuts then. I raised the awareness about military because MORE TAX CUTS yeah! Ahh this thing you said, btw my dad earns more if he just gets job seekers allowance + his hobby than getting a job. Unless you go for what I said about England I don't see how lower taxes causes inflation, please write to me about that. Explaining econimics about inflation - demand pull inflation is where the bank makes lots of money and now make the money more worth less. If the government spends wisely then this won't be a problem. Cost-push inflation is when I make to much of an important product. Eg the 1970s in the US they imported lots of oil from Saudi Arabia after an embargo. This caused the price of oil to fall down and energy prices to fall but this was considered good.

Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) There is some things you can see we don't need like military etc. So do consider lowering the taxes to like 25% for higher income and no tax for poor people Edited December 22, 2016 by ErjonBerisha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 What ever your point is it is like Putin and Stalin had a child with even more communist views. You may say it isn't communism but in the long run it is. My suggestions are that the taxes are too damn high. Free healthcare will make people careless and they will not care if they get hurt or not because they think they can spend as much money from taxes on hospital bills as often as they want. I could go on with the other policies but that would be a thethis for a PhD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that you say these taxes are too high is ridiculous and hypocritical. And with free healthcare people would feel at ease. Who in their right mind would say "Free healthcare? Guess I'll rush in there with gun blazing." Nobody, why? Because they have everything to lose. Their guns and the scene that they were in. And depending on what type of server, their actual life is on the line. So far what I've seen from you Mr. Hetch is a re work of MY tax system and what I can assume will be a rip off of my healthcare plan as well. On top of this your taxes are extreme and unnecessary. You'll be making everybody poor while you stay rich. If you want to make money, stick to being a business man Mr. Hetch. The Island doesn't need greed. It needs a leader who is willing to make sacrifices for himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2017 I make sacrifices for the people. Why would I sacrifice the people for my own benefit. I have a 25% tax rate for people with $1,000,000< so I am taking so much less. I will sacrifice myself if am am or I am not elected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your tax system is still entirely useless. Not only is that still horrible it's a huge gap from your top tax rate. Either low the highest or raise the lowest. Either way your tax plan will break the bank and send everything into either a recession or a depression with your unexpected tax hikes. Why would anybody below 1,000,000 pay 25%. I'm assuming that rate is for people in the 200,000 price range because if it's higher... still there's the gap. That's still 50,000 dollars being taken away from somebody who could spend it improving their business or buying their first car. You don't think about people when you make these, you only think about how you can make more money. And are you being serious with what sacrifice I would make. I would sacrifice my own pay to help the people who live on the island. I plan on not bleeding them dry with taxing, and I'm giving them free healthcare. What sacrifices have I made? What sacrifices have you made Mr. Hetch? Edited January 26, 2017 by GeneSmith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it will most likely not apply to whats happening in game. The facts are this is not Canada or America, this is a country on its own. And I doubt that anybody would want to pay so much money to live in a place that's molded by them. If this island can be molded then it can be formed to sustain completely off of the taxes that I've set. With your taxes there will always be fluctuations and drops. With mine it can either stay the same or raise because of its affordability price range. And considering that, my Healthcare and background checks will actually pay for themselves. And if they don't I'm willing to put out my own check to help sustain it until it gets to where it needs to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2017 Mr. Hetch, so far what I have seen from your posts you try and take advantage of other people's posts. Mine being a prime example, you haven't done it in a few days but I want to point out why you are not doing anything right. Instead of trying to make friends you're making enemies. From what I've gathered you have enemies with Mr. Luprano and his friend Calico. And you're starting to make an enemy out of me. Your taxing is based on capitalism and it's so you can make money. What I believe you're doing is saying you'll give up your business to look good for the public. That's the reason taxes are so high. Let me ask you Mr. Hetch, what do you plan to do with that money. Over an estimated 1.5 million dollars from 200-300 people. 1.5 million dollars from a small island of people for what? You said you don't support free healthcare so that's out the window. Your money won't go to banning weapons because you yourself said you only wanna ban "The powerful ones." So where is that money going to. And my sacrifice is giving up my check. Putting money into the government spending. Personally spending my wages so people can get what they NEED. Not what you think they need. Being a governor isn't about money to me. I've proven that. I don't need the Governor check and I'll donate it to spending. My taxes are low and my pay is non existent. While you're taxing is high and your still getting paid. You're a business man as well. And you wanted to go into a very high paying business, tech. Obviously that didn't go as planned but it gave me a pretty good idea of whom I was up against. Thomas Hetch, I believe you are nothing more than a capitalist who wants nothing more than to bleed everyone dry of their money. You don't support the people but you support highly of taxing the people. You've made that clear. You want to tax them and then make them pay for their healthcare. And on top of that you criticized The People's Party, a party dedicated to for the people. I've been close with them since almost day one. And your first post on there was that they were communists. If there is anybody reading this I want you to know what I think and who I represent. I think Thomas Hetch will ruin the Island, and I think he wants to take your money from you. I want to represent all of you with every fiber of my being. I will treat you with respect and I will try my hardest to make things perfect. And even if I'm not elected I will still have the satisfaction of knowing I had supporters who believed in me and trusted me. Thank you for your time.

Posted January 27, 2017 I also want to make it clear @Frank @Calico and @ThomasHetch that getting Calico and Frank are in The Neighborhood, that doesn't mean they're illegal. So the next time you make a fake account or have someone else make one for you, try and not say the exact same thing you said in a separate post. We are not criminals just because of those two being associated. Is Thomas Hetch really the person you want for Governor? He makes fake accounts or has his friends do it for him to try and harass me privately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who make businesses and do good to the island deserve to be powerful. Public Services should be limited to encourage people to work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since you've gotten on the campaign trail Mr. Hetch you've been immature and have seen multiple people flaunt your name around threads that you don't belong in. You need to control the people who support you because in my view they act more like a cult willing to spread your name to any and all who wish to be graced by your light. Your policies are unbalanced and your knowledge for some things are limited. I seen your peace post but after this is where I refuse to remain silent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
