That awkward moment when Democrats proposed cutting the top rate of income tax from 70% to 50% in 1981:
As the opposition tried to settle on arguments and strategy, the administration showed that it too was not fully confident in its program. It nixed eliminating the distinction between wage and investment income for high earners, a move that would have brought the top rate down from 70% to 50% right away... [B]On March 10 [1981], Democrats in Congress, led by Representative William Brodhead of Michigan, proposed an end to the distinction between wage and investment income - 'earned and unearned income,' as it was called. Effectively, this meant not only a drop in the top marginal rate from 70% to 50%, but also a reduction in the capital-gains rate from 28% to 20%...[/B] To the Ways and Means Democrats, the appeal of the tax cut derived from its growth, fairness, and revenue effects. Brodhead envisioned a "rechanneling of funds away from tax shelters toward economically sound investments." He insisted that "I am not a supply-sider," but "we have to reduce taxes on wealthy people to have more investment."

Unfortunately, due to inactivity I am removing Patriots as Chancellor of Interior. Patriots has been a good and faithful servant of the region for a long time. He is a good guy and an unfortunate victim of inactivity, as we all are at some time.
To replace him, I am nominating Rateria, another staple of our community, to the position of Chancellor of Interior.
Miencraft, Narland, Rateria, Fascist Dred, Libiceland, Jadentopian Order
Thank you for the honor, Mr. President. As you have informed me, I must resign from the State Department. I look forward to possibly serving Libertatem once again. I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing this for Libertatem.
Pevvania, Humpheria, Libiceland, Jadentopian Order
And Libertatem will greatly benefit from it. I look forward to seeing the Senate deliberate on your nomination.

Hey, there's gonna be a poll sometime soon on whether or not we should change the flag. If anyone has any ideas, TG this nation with a link to the flag you'd like us to fly and it'll be added to the list of things we'll consider.
Humpheria, Rateria, Hyderbourg
The state department is about to undergo a revitalization process and we need committed diplomats to help the international standing of our great Libertarian region.
These potential diplomats do not have to be experienced, everyone interested will have a chance to really get involved with diplomacy and learn how to interact with other regions for the betterment of our community.
Anyone interested [B]TELEGRAM ME[/B] for further instruction.
If you worked for the state department under any previous Chancellor you MUST reapply, your position will not carry over.

Nothing personal like I said we are all greatly appreciative of your many months of service. The change in leadership is a result of multiple forthcoming reforms and changes to the Department of the Interior.
I urge you to stay engaged in that process and the general administration of the region. Rateria will need all the help he can get! It may even be a good time to start getting ready for #Patriots4Senate! I'd support you!

Italians have very distinct psyches compared to the typical Murikan. American automobile culture and Italian automobile culture developed from very different bases. Our driving behavior reflects this in addition to different societal temperaments and our almost opposite training techniques.
The driving style inflicted upon us by socialist behavior theorists, so-called "defensive" driving method tends to create more accidents per capita per similar road conditions. Our drivers are worse in general at calculating the risks of interactive manoeuvring. Many Italians conversely who are trained (if at all) in interactive methods have less accidents per capita for roadway conditions.
Their gestalt also tends to be different--most Americans think they are better drivers than average and have to watch out for bad drivers. Most Italians know that everyone has to get somewhere somehow, and that I am one of them.
To many Americans, Italians tend to aggressively "drive like that-very-hot-place." Their driving seems aggressive, outrageous, and maniacal. To many Italians, Americans tend to seem inattentive, indecisive, unaware and are suspect of being full spectrum autistic when it comes to knowing how to negotiate traffic. Both aim to drive like they know where they are going; drive like they know the road; and drive like they know what they are doing.
Should the Sand Andreas fault cause the rest of America to sink from the Peoples' Progressive Socialist Democratic Your-Gonna-Be-Happy-Here-And-Like-It Republic of California, I would be fairly content in some rural part of Campagna. That is until they got tired of my Murikan Ways. Good lattés, passionate people, and lively social interaction. The big down side would be paying off the Mafia to keep the Italian government from regulating me to death.

Respond when you can. But he was an extraordinarily corrupt, morally repugnant, economically and constitutionally illiterate monster that misdiagnosed the causes of the Depression and responded to it by jacking up taxes, spending, price controls and regulation, which had the effect on the economy of prolonging the Depression. He told lies, he bullied journalists, he cheated on his wife (multiple times), he launched illegal investigations against his political enemies. And he had neither the spine nor the foresight to challenge Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito in the years leading up to the war. If America had lost, historians would note his laziness (spend 2/3 of the war on vacation), his over-reliance on generals and advisors, his weakness in confronting Stalin's atrocities, and his tactical blunders. Truman's decision to drop the A-bomb, the generals and the brave men and women of America won the war, not Roosevelt, and it was Senator Taft and the Conservative Coalition that ended the Depression by repealing the New Deal. FDR's only tangible legacy is the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security and the damage he did to the Supreme Court by forcing them to condone government intervention in the economy.
Roosevelt is easily amongst the top 3 worst presidents in American history, next to Wilson and Andrew Johnson.

Revisionist trash. Jackson is on the $20 bill for a reason: killing the Bank, expanding the franchise and setting into motion 80 years of glorious unfettered capitalism and prosperity (and for beating a would-be assassin half to death with his cane).
Miencraft, Hyderbourg, Jadentopian Order
Coolidge is obviously closer to the classical liberal mould, but the big difference, in my opinion, is that Reagan's legacy has remained intact. The Presidents after Coolidge rejected his constitutional philosophy; those that succeeded Reagan have largely preserved his tax cuts, his deregulation efforts, his welfare reforms and his approach to government. Without Reagan's judicial appointments it's unlikely we would have ever got DC v Heller, either. And of course, the peoples of Eastern Europe, Latin America and parts of Africa and Asia have him to thank for the demise of Communism.

Also seriously it was under AJ and him alone that the national debt ever reached 0. That's pretty damn amazing considering it took one guy to double two hundred years worth of debt after Jackson.

Now that's something I wan't to hear!
Not to be mean or anything but your reasons better be good. Me and my friends in history class basically became an anti FDR group.
Read WWII by Richard j. Maybury. and Day of Deceit by Robert Stinnette. Then you will understand.
But as far as my least favorite presidents. Woodrow Wilson (for the Federal Reserve, WWI, and the treaty of Versailles), and FDR (for WWII, and Pearl Harbor). Don't get me wrong others are still bad, but these two started World Wars!

Not to mention revamping the civic service system to near irrevocable tenure of bureaucrats allowing or the proliferation of incompetence and malice; setting precedent for congress to raid pensions funds whether civil service, railroad or private; robbing us of our very own right of money as the property of our persons (gold) for right to freedom of association (monetary exchange)--and then unlawfully plundering said gold.
And he blamed Polio on Ice Cream. >:(
Pevvania, Pulceria
He is the Founder of the current Democratic Party; and was on the $1000 Confederate Dollar. He was on the 1882 10,000 Gold Certificate that precious few would see or even afford to use. It took 75 years for him to be on the $20 bill whereof he replaced Grover Cleveland.
Most of us were taught that he was a monster, but I classify him as a great man of flawed character. We all know his flaws but in his defense he was a Rugged Individualist, truly a Self-Made Man (c)(r)tm Du Style Américain, a War Hero, a Survivor/Overcomer, and Business Man against the machine of the Establishment (Shades of Trump) -- in short everything that Democrats have come to hate; and hated even more that he reminds them of how rotten the Democratic party has always been at Civil Rights except as a Marxist dialectic of class and race warfare. The elements of his greatness was his own brand of Special which is always packaged with an unpredictable amount of nuts (serial dueler, pugnacious, paradoxical). He was a popular man of Zeitgeist making a positive imprint on American Populism--but not the radical republicans and abolitionists. He did destroy his generation's version of the Federal Reserve. He at least needs to be on the obverse of the American Half-Eagle gold coin; with a scene of the Trail of Tears on the reverse to remind us that great men do greatly--great good, and great harm.

From the Senate
-Liberty Amendment passes into law, 3 - 1 - 1. Amongst other changes, it requires a 2/3 majority in referenda and a 4/5 majority in the Senate to pass an amendment to the Constitution, and allows citizens to represent themselves or hire private attorneys in court.
-Amendment to the Law Code passes 4 - 0. It strikes misdemeanour vulgarity from the code and removes Treason Class C - defined as "violating the game rules" - as an offense. This is a momentous decision that's effectively a 'stealth' higher court from the judicial process and prevents citizens from being treated unfairly as a result of moderator action.
-Rateria confirmed 3 - 1 - 1 as Chancellor of the Interior.
-Discussion on the TEACH Act; 3/5 of Senators felt that a mentor program was a good idea, but was better left in the hands of a private organisation than those of a government program.
