Successfully lowered my tax rate from 32% to 27% while still maintaining welfare, the economy, health, technology, & the environment.

I'm planning on painting some money.
Wenchdom, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Yeah I need to lower my tax rate - not a lot of issues that allow for that though.
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze, Lost Lion, Robic
My people pay little tax. Then again, some do get scurvy. But it's a nostalgic ailment, harking back to sailing ships, pirates, and scurvy fighting Limeys.

I'm now the first in the region for Integrity.

My problem is I can't resist paying for things like hadron colliders
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Im not really sure, but is 4.4% a good tax rate? I mean Im definitely trying to abolish taxes all together but I dunno
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
That's killing it. Mine has worked it's way up to 49%. My people are crushed under the boot of the IRS.

Please forgive my recent inactivity. At first, I was just tired and worn out from all the drama that occurred in the region, along with my other responsibilities here. After that, I was dreadfully sick for a couple weeks, followed directly by finals week. To say the least, Im exhausted. The last month has been a bit of a killer. With the break that Noso took, I felt that I also needed a break. Nearly six months of nearly constant NS activity can wear ya down. I needed a mental break from the drama that had occurred, and a break to mend both body and spirit, to finish the semester strong and to recuperate my sick body. I was under a lot of stress for the last month and NationStates was just another thing for me to worry about, so I took a break from it. I apologize to those I was in the middle of projects with (Xadrya, Nilas, etc.). As an officer of this region, there really is no excuse for wasting the short time I have in this term, so I hope I can make it up to you. Tomorrow will be a day of reconnecting and catching up on work (along with a couple of other things that need to be remedied).

Saint Gloria, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
The children of Hollip are all either soldiers or miners. Just like all teens ought to be in my opinion.

Hello guys

What did everyone get for Christmas? I got a pocket watch and a ton of foreign currency among other things.

Not my fault man. I just.. I don't know. It seems quiet and I'm having flashbacks to The Pacific and a dude named Pelagis. Hell, the reason I came here is because I got banned and I knew Xadrya.

Cool! I was given a Star Wars book, and will be getting other things until January!
Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Funny you mention that. I got an SW book two, just I'm rapidly losing interest in Star Wars.
I told my mom she can take it back.
Araluen Ranger Corps
Star Wars is most definitely overrated!
Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Indeed. I won't lie though, I was a huge nerd for a while. Damn, I even had ocs.

I was gifted Dark Disciple. I also have Darth Plagueis and Death Troopers in my library. It's still a shame, that they aren't cannon anymore.

Bluximburg says no to affirmative action! If you don't have the merits, you don't get the position.
Unike, Tulov, Saint Gloria, Xadrya, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Preaching to the choir.
Xadrya, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Agree completely. I believe in equality of opportunity, not affirmative action.
Unike, Tulov, Saint Gloria, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, Yaangze
Some people say that it's "reverse discrimination" or "making up for past discrimination". In my opinion, both of these statements are absurd! Discrimination is discrimination, and two wrongs never make a right.
Saint Gloria, Xadrya, Bluximburg, Araluen Ranger Corps
Meritocracy should be our goal.
Saint Gloria, Neon Alliance, The Democracy Of Red Star, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps
Imagine supporting affirmative action
The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps
imagine being supportive
i cant
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, Some Random Lands, Araluen Ranger Corps
Is there some reason you felt obligated to say this here at this particular time? I feel like I've missed something...
EDIT:
After a quick bit of googling, I can say that Affirmative Action is, in and of itself, discrimination... that thing it purports to fight.
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps
The intention is to spur discussion. No obligation involved.
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps
I mean is there anyone here that supports affirmative action?
The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps
Well, as a region designed after a company, I think it is important to gauge opinion on what kind of company we want to be. Are we the sort of company that would hire a minority with a lack of qualifications simply to meet a quota, or would we hire based on those qualifications to promote a smooth running company that functions to the best of its ability. While it may seem pointless to try and spur conversation about a topic that the region has a very one-sided opinion about, we should at least spur the conversation to give those who have opposing views an opportunity to voice their doubts.
Saint Gloria, Some Random Lands, Bluximburg, Modern Israel, Araluen Ranger Corps, The Cincinnatus Republic
Good point.
Saint Gloria, The Democracy Of Red Star, Araluen Ranger Corps
Very nice
Araluen Ranger Corps
In my opinion, affirmative action, in fact, hurts minorities. Lowering standards for the minorities have pretty much set less-qualified and less-prepared minorities up for failure. This has been proven by high black dropout rates.
I got this from PragerU but it's a good point.
