Hello all this is my first proposal... I am completely open to all suggestion and comments.... and if any Delegates are reading this please, if you are interested, approve this.... I only have 2 more days.




Economic Glory
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Cboey 2

Description: In a world of poverty and homelessness I propose to promote business to not only lower unemployment but improve the nation's economy so they don't have to tax the poor. My proposal includes:

1) Release businesses of all but selected few anti-business laws.

This means businesses don't have to spend millions of dollars insuring that they are abiding by these profound laws.

2) Put heavy limitation on free market.

With less competition, but still enough for the consumer, businesses will no longer have to worry as much about lowering their prices to hardly get a profit and with the extra money look at ways to improve the shopping experience of the consumer.

3) Establishment of a Global Currency.

Each nation will still have their own national currency to be used in their own nation. But when trading, nations will use the Global Currency so they don't have to exchange a higher amount of their money for a lower amount of another money. This may hurt strong currencies but will level the playing field for economic-troubled nations.

4) Global minimum wage or salary laws.

This will help not only economically-powerful nations but economically-weak nations. By setting this minimum wage/salary law no more jobs from high-salary nations will be sold to low-salary nations. It will help low-salary nations by showing them that they can't forever rely on businesses to move to their country to move on economic-wise.

5) Lower low-income taxes.

Simple as it sounds. With more money in their pockets they can spend on more things, they can also afford to give their children (if they have any) a nice education and then maybe their children, with a great education, can get high paying jobs, therefore lowering the poor population and raising the rich population over the decades.



With these five basic laws, this proposal, if passed will eliminate third-world countries (by making them first or second-world countries), unemployment, and the poor (by, over generations, making them more wealthy). Also by eliminating those things we eliminate terrorist support, crime, and a lower-educated workforce.

Having gone on to read this proposal, I do not see how it could at all help free trade, in fact, it seems to go on to hurt it.

Description: In a world of poverty and homelessness I propose to promote business to not only lower unemployment but improve the nation's economy so they don't have to tax the poor. My proposal includes:

Emotive "we live in a poverty, blah blah blah world" lines do not an argument make. Instead of desrcibing it, it makes my eyes glaze over while I look for the actual description. Don't get me wrong, this usually cuts out most peoples attention span quite quickly, try skipping to the chase, say what the proposal does, then why.

1) Release businesses of all but selected few anti-business laws.

This means businesses don't have to spend millions of dollars insuring that they are abiding by these profound laws.

Okay, kind of hitting smack into national soveriegnty here, your saying how we should let our corporations run free. While I am a pro capitalist, consumerist state, and all for corporations having power, so as to serve their customers better, naturally, :wink: removing anti-business and presumably anti-trust laws makes me very quesy about this proposal, infact many nations could get quite rabid over this.

2) Put heavy limitation on free market.

With less competition, but still enough for the consumer, businesses will no longer have to worry as much about lowering their prices to hardly get a profit and with the extra money look at ways to improve the shopping experience of the consumer.

Congratulations, you just hammered free trade. Yes improve the shopping experience. Indeedy, or siphon it to share holders. Or swiss-esque style bank accounts. Ever heard of human nature?

3) Establishment of a Global Currency.

Each nation will still have their own national currency to be used in their own nation. But when trading, nations will use the Global Currency so they don't have to exchange a higher amount of their money for a lower amount of another money. This may hurt strong currencies but will level the playing field for economic-troubled nations.

Ahhh, quite frankly, why should I suffer for a country which mucked its own economy, this idea is so naive it conerns me how blaise you are about it. Do you understand economies, or the mind set of nations, even a tad?

4) Global minimum wage or salary laws.

This will help not only economically-powerful nations but economically-weak nations. By setting this minimum wage/salary law no more jobs from high-salary nations will be sold to low-salary nations. It will help low-salary nations by showing them that they can't forever rely on businesses to move to their country to move on economic-wise.

Okay, this is just mis-guided, who are we to say where people go to work, and what draws them their, this is national seperatism on a massive scale your proposing here.

5) Lower low-income taxes.

Simple as it sounds. With more money in their pockets they can spend on more things, they can also afford to give their children (if they have any) a nice education and then maybe their children, with a great education, can get high paying jobs, therefore lowering the poor population and raising the rich population over the decades.

By how much? When? How? Enforced how? If the U.N. cannot establish taxes, by logical extension, why should we be able to lower them? This is the bit where I streak about screaming "BLATANT NATIONAL SOVERIEGNTY VIOLATION". Very nice pipe dream you have here.

With these five basic laws, this proposal, if passed will eliminate third-world countries (by making them first or second-world countries), unemployment, and the poor (by, over generations, making them more wealthy). Also by eliminating those things we eliminate terrorist support, crime, and a lower-educated workforce.

1) No, it makes us 1st world nations suffer for the errors and problems of others, ignoring the effects on us.

2) Yes, but while you make the poor wealthier, the wealthier by extension become wealthier, making prices rise anyway, making the poor just as porr, but with bigger cheques paid to them. Inflation, inflation, inflation.

3) Eliminate terrorist suport, I'm sorry, could you actually *try* to rationalise that?

4) Crime, errr no, not without brain washing us. Rule of thumb, while theirs a law, it can be broken, if it can be broken then it will, simple probability.

5) This won't help education, its very changes will create massive social up-heave'al.

CONCLUSION: Nice ideals, bad proposal, try going back to the drawing board for a bit, and I suggest the threads on "how to" proposals, theirs also a good format recommendation in there too, which should help you out. Thats my two Almighty Komok Dollars for now.
