Strange game - I chose "Eat a suitcase of White Castles" and it said "You just suffered a massive coronary and are unable to govern any further."

If you guys vote for me I'll...

Increase your income tax by only 15%

Increase the sales tax by a cheapo 5 cents

Increase the fuels/gasoline tax a meager 33 cents per gallon

Increase business taxes by only 40%

Increase motor vehicle fees by a paltry 27%

Make absolutely no budget cuts and still
get the deficit down to a measly $1.61 million dollars with the aforementioned minor revenue generators.

If any of you argue against these progressive actions done in the name of fiduciary responsibility, prosperity and fairness for all, then you neanderthals don't deserve to live here.

LOL, I wonder if this is a bad idea..
I played with 2 things and ended up with a surplus of 2.867 billion dollars

Where it says "Income tax Increase" I put -100%. Though I'm probably wrong in this thing, but I'd say let us keep our entire paycheck and I changed sales tax to 20 cents.. lol..

If it means 20 cents more per dollar, I'm OK with that! As long as no taxes come out of my paycheck, I'll be able to pay more in sales tax

^ just playing around here..but.. I'd love no income tax.. higher sales tax...it would make things easier, IMO

Of the two, I prefer an income tax as it spreads the tax burden across all income brackets with those who are making more dollars paying more dollars, even if it were a flat tax.

A sales tax puts a bigger tax burden on consumers that make less money than those that do.
