"Down with import taxes!" This is what many people are talking about. Why? Because wages are "too high" and ineffecient companies are killing the business.
No, my friends, this is not ineffecient American businessmen killing the business! It's foreign citizens killing the business, who put their cheap goods on our market, undercutting our offers, sometimes even by 0.1 USD! We can always see Spanish, German and Korean citizens selling their products on our market, yesterday there was a Mexican with 1200+ stocks of Q1 weapons, with a price 0,1 USD cheaper than the following! THIS is killing our business!
General Patton already wrote an article about the consequences of no import taxes: this way everytime you'd buy a weapon from a foreign citizen, the money you'd pay would leave US economic system and would go to foreign business and citizens.
What I'd like to add to this:
With import taxes you have US competition. No matter how ineffecient they are, money stays within our borders, in our, American hands. Cutting the import taxes these guys will not stop their insane job offers but will keep running business, even if they make no profit. However, you will open the market to the n00bs from all over the world!You will receive the competition of all n00bs, working for 1 currency in their own company, in their medium/no iron country's arms company*. Is this really what you want? Punish stupid American people and protect stupid foreign people?
Same goes for other goods as well: we can't cut import taxes, we can't let foreigners runnin' away with our money we pay for food and gifts. We should encourage instead fellow Americans to go out for a day overseas, buy big amounts of goods, and sell it on our markets for profit! An individual's, but at least an American individuals profit!
Lower import taxes is the worst thing could happen to US economy, and on the long run, military effeciency. Stay tuned to Von Doom Media, and tomorrow you can read my three points' proposal on taxation reform that could save our economy!
* Until last week selling guns in Romania was a really profitable business. Finally a guy working in his own, Transylvanian weapons company for 1 RON ruined it, by selling 500 stocks for 0,6 RON instead of the following 0,75 RON offer. Of course others followed him. Do you really want him to ruin your business, too?

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.
