Midwest 2014 Budget (Vote)

[Lumine]

For the record, I would be open to accept lowering the corporate tax, but only after the GM analysis proves that Maxwell's proposal would be able to cut those taxes without hurting our surplus too much. The Midwest economy is doing great at this precise minute, but we are still in the middle of a recovery and we will need further stimulus, hence why I think cutting taxes would be a little bit irresponsible.

Again, economic policy is not my best area, so I won't be offering many specific changes, but I stand with GAworth's idea of a 25 billion surplus. I also want to propose an increase in Environment & Energy of at least 2-5 billion (mostly for updating the our current energy infrastructure). If oil prices keep going up, we are going to need further investment in that area.

Those are quite interesting ideas, Superique, and while GAworth already addressed the Bank issue with his new bill, we could consider the income tax idea. If we are going to lower the taxes after all, it would be a lot better to lower them on lower and middle class citizens than corporations.

[Lumine]

Very well, we'll have to wait until the GM analysis. That said, the income tax reduction is looking great so far!

[Lumine]

GAworth? What happened with the analysis?

[Lumine]

Woah, we're voting now? We still have at least three days worth of discussion, right?

It's just with Christmas and New Year, there is a risk that the Most Serene Representatives are more often away, so it's better to be cautious!

Very well, we'll have to bring further amendments then.
