The Issue
Secularists have been urging for the government to impose an income tax on religious organizations in Vidcc for some time now, and the issue has finally made it's way to the upper levels of the government.
The Debate
- Self-appointed civil rights spokesman Prudence Christmas declares, "Churches are business organizations with a large income. It's unfair that they don't have to pay the same taxes that everyone else does. If they really do spend on any money on charity, let them write it off as a deduction just like corporations do. There's no reason that so-called clergy should be chauffeured around in limos tax-free, when we desperately need funds for public works."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
- "Freedom of conscience is foremost among liberties", says Reverend Hack Wall. "Churches have been exempted from taxation because it is wrong for the government to infringe on the right of people to worship as they please, and that includes charging them for the right to worship. Besides, churches are non-profit organizations that put all their funds back into the community."
- The Honorable Beth King, Minister of Minding Other People's Business, has an idea: "This religion thing is such a great racket, why don't we make it a government monopoly? We'll ban all religions except the Church of Vidcc, and make attendance and donations compulsory. I'll start writing the Holy Scriptures right away!"

The Issue
Tragedy struck Vidcc today, as a gunman killed three people in a suburban shooting rampage. The community is united in grief, but divided in opinion as to what should be done.
The Debate
- The strongest voices demand tighter gun controls. "The only way to prevent further atrocities is to take the guns out of the hands of the murderers," says anti-gun campaigner Thomas Frederickson. "There's no justification for them in today's society. We need tighter regulations on who can hold guns, so only our police and military have them."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
- "That's not all we need," says radical left-wing activist Stephanie Falopian. "The government should ban all guns outright--even in the police force. This is an opportunity to make Vidcc a totally gun-free state."
- "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," says NRA head honcho Jennifer Broadside. "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. Is that what we want? Think, people. The answer isn't to ban guns. It's to crack down on those Hollywood movies and computer games that glamorize violence. They're the real criminals."
Probably find some fundamentalist right wing gun nut put those issues and i'm going to have 100% tax and muderers letting loose in the mall with ak47s:rolleyes:
aah, but clergy limos and chauffeures are not tax free...
they pay tax on the limo, don't they? and all services are tax exempt (at least here in AZ)
well i didn't make the issue... but the bit that said thisQuote:

The Issue
Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Kyste, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.
The Debate
1. Johann Christmas of the Kyste National Purity League says "These illegal aliens are just an eyesore with their strange customs and funny languages. Uneducated immigrants like these only worsen crime and steal valuable jobs! I say we should boot them all out on their ears and put a big fence around the country!"
[Accept]
2. Larry Hamilton of the Kyste Civil Liberties Union says "We must welcome these refugees from any nation into our open arms, they are fleeing one oppressive dictatorial regime in the only way they know, we must not let them think they're jumping from the frying pan into the fire!"
[Accept]
3. "Hold on there, hold on people!" says Chastity Frederickson of the Kyste Broadcasting company, "We don't have to take either extreme, all we have to do is make a TV game show out of it! We put deadly obstacles on the border and monitor it with television cameras! Those that make it across win freedom and citizenship, and those who don't, well, lets just say that our buzzards won't starve. We could call it 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?'!"
[Accept]

The Issue
While effusively praising GEP's leadership and bowing repeatedly, a delegation has humbly requested that the government take a more "modernistic" view in the future.
The Debate
1) The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be your brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that you know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to your course. And execute these wackos for treason."
2) "Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses your Chief of Staff, who is your sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of your puppets, I mean."

The People's Republic of GEP
"Where's there's GEP there's happiness"
UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State
Civil Rights: Some
Economy: Thriving
Political Freedoms: Rare
Location: FST Resident Evil
The People's Republic of GEP is a huge, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 319 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78%. A healthy private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology industries.
TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, major cities are suffering under water rationing, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GEP's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the groat.
GEP is ranked 1st in the region and 8,154th in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.
