Public Companies may have only been born recently, but they are some of the largest organizations and fastest growing in this world. The argument I am going to propose today is that we increase our income tax to combat foreign competition and promote domestic company growth.
First, I would like to give a brief summary of my company, a Q1 Weapons factory. Assuming that I buy my recourse at $0.22, and pay my employees what I do, I made about $60 dollars a day in profit, however, since the release of public companies, the flood of products and the demand for labor have both increased drastically, resulting in more competition and higher salary for workers. In just 2 days, my daily profit (Harry potter pun) has dropped nearly 50%. It will now take me twice as long to get to the Q2 upgrade or to open another Q1 company, as well as limit the amount of workers I can have and raw materials I can buy. This is a bad thing because, I can not gain money fast other than my regularly scheduled Hard Worker and Super Soldier medals.
Foreign companies however, have much cheaper labor, making it more profitable to sell their products, but normally with cheaper labor comes lower prices on the product market. This can be avoided, by selling their products in companies with lower import taxes, so they still lose some profit, but make much more than they would in their own country. By having much higher potential profit, they can afford to lower their prices lower than we can, resulting in foreign countries profiting off of our expense. If I conform into selling my weapons for 10 cents less than I did a week ago, I am losing 50% of my profit, and sometimes, I can't even sell my weapons unless I stoop below their bar and go lower. It is a sad day when domestic business growth takes a halt and the foreign owners profit more than ever.
Ok, ok. So I believe that this can be solved in two ways...
1) (This will be criticized but here me out) Raise Import Taxes I understand that if we raise import taxes the price of the product will be raised and the consumer might suffer, but if the salesman makes more, they can offer more to their workers.
Then the workers need to demand for more! I will practice fair business and pay my workers what they deserve, but if other owners won't then the workers need to know their biggest weakness... Their wallets. Business owners like profit and without workers they can't profit. They will be forced to raise their workers pay and everyone wins. So it's up to the congressmen and congresswomen to carry through this method, which I will nickname respectively, Operation Weenie Hut Jr.
2) We need more citizens! With more workers, the demand for labor will drop and the competition to gain more labor will drop, along with the pay of workers
WRONG! With more labor, comes more products, and with more products comes lower prices, Its supply and demand. This strategy is the harder one of the two, which is why I like to call it, Operation Optimus Prime
America need you! to invite more players. A larger country = More bros to solve our countries problems with.
P.S. I am running for Congress this month and would love your support, I'm active, willing, and able to help America any way I can, so a vote for me will make your wildest dreams come true!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
