wormyguy for [Northeast Regional] Senate: VOTE NOW!!!

[tpfkaw]

VOTE NOW, IN THIS THREAD: uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=149115

Hello all!  I am running for certain defeat to be your next Northeastern Senator in the election this month!

To that end, I will answer some frequently asked questions:

1. Why are you running?

To feed my megalomaniacal desire for power.

2. What is your position on [X]?

Don't you already know?

3. Why should I vote for you?

Because if you don't I'll phone the Nevada GOP and you know what happens after that.  Also, once I'm out of the Northeast Assembly (which I have served actively in for quite some time, including a term as Speaker) they'll be able to tax and spend and regulate like nobody's business.  Think tactically, folks, tactically!

4. I hate you and think you should be dead!

I hate you and think you should be dead!

The Anti-Conscription Amendment

Recently, the Senate has once again taken up debating the Anti-Conscription Amendment, as originally proposed by Jbrase.  I'll let you in on a little secret:

I was the original author of that amendment.  (Jbrase will confirm).

It is my personal belief that conscription is a war crime and has no place in a civilized society.  I will be one of the most forceful voices against conscription in the Senate and will introduce the Anti-Conscription Amendment in its original form in every Senate session until it is passed.  I applaud Senator Napoleon for his leadership on this issue and can assure all the citizens of the Northeast that there is no one who will continue his work more faithfully than I.

[CatoMinor]

I am Jbrase, and I approve this campaign.

And yes, Wormy wrote the original amendment.

You have to keep an open mind with this sort of thing.   In the field of sweet stuff, I also like grape soda and white chocolate, so what do I know?

This is fantastic.

P.S., the Anti-Conscription Amendment has been completely diluted with amendments contradictory to the title of the bill. It started out as a piece of legislation that actually banned conscription, but now has been amended to cater to odd situations. At this point, it's more pro-conscription than anti.

No, that isn't true.

I'm disappointed you haven't put it in your sig, as you did last time you distorted one of my posts.

No, that isn't true.

Rather, amendments have been proposed in an attempt to make it pro-conscription.

And I will continue doing my best to defeat them, like I do on any bill, to preserve a better policy, much to the disappointment of others.

Federal Tax Reform

So, you want the Northeast to have taxes, eh?  Well, I'll make it easy for you!  If I am elected to serve the Northeast in the Senate, I will introduce the following legislation such that federal revenues will be collected at the regional level.  This new mechanism will allow for regions to experiment with revenue collection methods in order to find whichever one yields the most economic growth for the revenue they are required to collect, while also increasing activity at the regional level as the federal budget request will require innovation in methods of revenue generation in every region.  Regions which do not provide enough revenue will be penalized by having their federal grants reduced, while regions which provide more than enough will have their revenue requests for the next year reduced.  Economically depressed regions, that is to say regions with higher unemployment, will have less of a revenue burden than more prosperous regions, creating a tax system which will now for the first time be progressive by region.  This mechanism also allows for automatic Keynesian stimulus by automatically increasing the deficit the government is allowed to run in periods of high unemployment.

Thank you for your support; I'm glad that my reform-focused platform attracts supporters from both right and left.

Would the regional government get any of those tax funds?

[tpfkaw]

Would the regional government get any of those tax funds?

Yes.  Obviously, the regional government would keep whatever revenues it raises that aren't requested by the federal government.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

You'll be getting my first preference.

Hey Wormy, what's your position on electoral reform?

Hey Wormy, what's your position on electoral reform?

Reform is always a good idea.  I would prefer if regional senators were elected regionally instead of federally, and if regions could be allowed to recall their senators.  I also think a multi-member executive branch may be a good idea.  If you have any specific ideas I'd love to hear them.

(I'd love it even more if you moved to the Northeast and voted for me. )

As for Antonio, if he wants to drag up old controversies, I'll say myself that that incident is one of which I am deeply ashamed and have apologized profusely for.  In fact, I behaved poorly enough that I probably should have been banned for it.  In my defense, I was under an incredible amount of stress at the time due to an unfortunate incident within my family which I'd rather not discuss, except to say that it was highly personal in nature and did not reflect poorly on me.  Still, that's no excuse, and I displayed a lack of judgment in my actions that almost makes me sick to my stomach.  It's a perfectly legitimate reason not to vote for me, in fact.

That said, as long as we're dragging up old controversies, shortly afterwards, there was another controversy involving Polnut's running mate Tmth, who actually blackmailed Jake Matthews (or Carl Schulz) into changing his vote.  If Antonio thinks that old controversies are a reason not to vote for someone, then I'd challenge him to put his money where his mouth is and encourage people not to vote for the Polnut/Tmth ticket.  Now, I'm not saying this to pick on Tmth, who's a good friend of mine.  He's also apologized repeatedly, and I believe he is genuinely sorry for his actions, which like mine were made spur-of-the-moment without thinking.  All I'm saying is that Antonio's high standards right now seem like a bit of a double standard.

Constitutionally Protecting a Sensible Foreign Policy

Since 2001, Atlasia has been dragged into several needless wars that have damaged our international credibility and our strategic posture, as well as causing the deaths of thousands of our soldiers and the maiming of tens of thousands more, as well as the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilians in the countries we have invaded, bombed, or destabilized.  After over a decade, little progress meaningful to average Atlasians has been made after the expenditure of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives.  Those who have benefited are largely well-connected corporate interests in the military-industrial complex, who profit off of a needlessly-aggressive foreign policy.  If I am elected Senator, there is no issue I will be more active on than to end this state of affairs, immediately and permanently.  To that end I will offer the following constitutional amendment:
