Nationstates: Create Your Own Country

[burzerker]

The "takers" I refer to are the ones on welfare, WIC, medicare, subsidised housing, anything else subsidised. Social security is something we all add to from our pay, it isn't a for of government issued welfare. Like I said in an earlier post 48% of Americans are now a drain on the US tax system. There are waaaaayyy to many ways for people to get money out of the government for nothing, when things like WIC, medicare, other programs start accepting people at 250% of the poverty line it creates more of these "takers" who really don't need it. I don't have a problems with helping the truly needy, but they are a much smaller group than we currently assist. If I looked into it I would probably be eligible for some program with my household income being modest and having 2 children, but I don't need any help, I own 2 cars and a house. There are plenty of people who would gladly take the free money. When people pay there taxes at the end of the year and go home with more money than they paid in taxes for the year then that becomes a problem. So yes, there are a lot of "takers" out there and they shouldn't be allowed to vote themselves a raise every 4 years with the clowns they help elect.

Funny thing is there's nothing in the constitution that could stop a law from being passed that could disqualify people from voting if they accept government aid. Actually as long as nothing impedes people's basic rights the government can actually prevent people from voting, pretty cool. Might shoot an email to my district rep and congressman.

"I agree," mused sociology professor Billy Longfellow. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

"Whoa, whoa," says noted accountant Randy Broadside. "Are these people serious? The last thing I want to see when I'm out for a coffee is some lumbering, over-weight nudist coming down the sidewalk toward me. If people want to get naked, they can do it in the privacy of their own homes. Think of the children!"

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.

Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory.

Don't you mean 'mandatory'???

Nudity is highly liberating.

Yes, yes. Truer words were never spoken. sigh.....

And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."

Then suddenly, I think Nargotah had a brain aneurysm....
Wait...you didn't just convert to Islam between sentences, did you?!?

[[m'kay]]

Haha, that's just the premade message it gives you. Besides, why the hell would you need Hooters if everyone was already naked?

True. Okay, I conceeed...BUT ... you have to admit, that a 'little' clothing gives the mind a little room for 'imagination'!

The Republic of Quahog[ a type of clam] Colony is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Religion & Spirituality, with areas such as Law & Order and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Quahog Colony's national animal is the Clam, and its currency is the Dollar.


That's how far I got so far...

Quahogs are big clams from Rhode Island. Technically people will say you can get them from the yucatan peninsula to prince edward island, but all your quahogs are belong to us.
