Unemployment and Economy

This is a resolution to boost the whole worlds economy.


When politicians inflate the currency, try to plan the economy, and give privelages to banks they cause eras of boom, but in the longrun the economy fails. This causes investors to lose money, and destroys companies that employ citizens with real jobs that actually benefit our economy rather than ones which are used to create useless public works and do not benefit the economy in any way.

Politicians that agree with everyone being guaranteed a job by the government will benefit the economy and put more people to work. Countries like the USSR have tried this and the only results were bankruptcy and nationwide poverty.

Restricting commerce and trade, imposing strict buisness regulations, squandering money on others economic losses with subsidizes, and using borrowed money to support foreign governments and buisnesses.

These are the policies that Democrats and Republicans have been using to help our economy, but instead have started to destroy it. To cure unemployment the only jobs must be real ones in a private sector that actually benefit not only themselves, but others.

We can also cure the market by reducing corporate income tax, which will expand buisness and bring more capital into the country. This will solve the markets economic crisises. Curing unemployment will be simple. All we need to do is loosen regulations and mandates that uses companies resources which could be used instead for employing more people. Protectionists market views have only destroyed jobs over the world. To fix there flawed views we must end subsidy programs, and end all trade barriers such as tariffs to free the market. The government's actions that interfere with buisness and which also cause depressions will finally be ended and everyone will be benefited by the capital that will be widespread throughout the world instead of artificial and inflated money.

Please approve of this resolution your support is greatly appreciated.

This seems like a national issue... not a UN issue. If you are taxing your various industries and citizens to death... then cut their taxes.

I actually have a proposal out that is kind of a simpler more effective version of this. Reducing corporate income tax makes it harder for others to make a living in business.

What I think we should do is eliminate trade tariffs and make the entire shipping industry a government publicly traded sector. That way the same people who own shipping stocks are the ones owning or working for companies that ship things to different countries. Then without the trade tariffs they can expand internationally and creat offshore and international jobs.

No.

We are a member of a fair-trade agreement, and have banned private enterprise in the interests of crazy left-wing ideas like 'ethics'. We will not broach this kind of meddling in our sovereign economic affairs.

The USSR failed because of corruption, social immobility and dogmatic, prescriptivist dictatorship. Not having any of these, our economy rises and falls but keeps its head well above water. We believe there to be more important things in life than macroscopic economic success, and reserve the right to run our country according to this.

(And saying the US political parties have imposed strict business legislation is so ludicrous it made our Minister of Trade and Industry snort his grapefruit and Hackneyite spiced rum through his nose, making a sound suspiciously resembling 'corporate kissass').

Please, for the love of all that you hold holy, no more Amerocentric proposals that have no meaning in NS, or indeed anywhere outside of the US itself.

If I made a proposal detailing the failings of New Labour and the Conservatives in British politics, it would mean nothing to you. Please bear this in mind.

Best wishes.

Many nations, new and old, seem to forget on occasion that some UN Member-States lack any private enterprise at all... While our reasons vary, the fact that it's a government choice means that it's a protected choice due to the "Rights and Duties" Resolution. This proposal would seem to force nations like the Holy Empire of Gethamane to form a private sector in order to provide jobs within it... Which isn't going to happen.

OOC: Since I am an Aussie, when I see "Republican" I assume you mean a left-winger who wishes Australia to declare independence from Britain. When I see "Democrat" I assume you mean a member of a rapidly self-destructing Upper House party. This is just to show how terms that you use and are familiar with can be mis-interpreted by others.

In itself... to say that the statement made by the gentleman to be Amerocentric is rather untrue, since the econmic polcies of the United States are employed by many other nations. But that is beside the subject... but in reply to the theory put forth I must disagree with him on his view of the slight government control of some parts of the economy.
I call it slight simply because it is not socialist, the control of the economy may seem like a bad thing when economy is in a downswing, but in the control inflation is kept relatively low... And to say that some jobs do not benefit the community is rather overblown, that would be the same as saying the Anasthesiologist is less important than the Physician, when in fact that they depend upon each other so that something horrible doe snot happen.... But this is just the opinion of a fool, because we are all fools.
