I would say yes, just to have an opportunity to kick your British asses again. But the choice is between what we can offer and what you have now? Once you have tasted the freedom we are offering, would you actually want to go back? It's tempting, but for now I would rather not be controlled by a third-world nation like England. We can become a third world nation just fine on our own! |

Quoted:
In light of your political and economic situation, what would you say to the following offer? We allow you to come back under Crown control. As a colony, our only real interest in you is making money out of you, so... You can elect your own colonial parliament, representatives, administration etc. As long as you're making money, we don't care. We get to appoint a colonial governor to sign off laws on behalf of the Queen. We can't be bothered with all that nonsense surrounding setting up a proper legal system for you after the hash you made of the last one, so we'll just scrub most of what went before and use your constitution as a basic set of rules. Any regulations that impact on your ability to continue generating revenue for us are abolished - no EPA, zoning etc. We don't care if your ruin your land or your health, as long as you're making money. All this commerce clause nonsense stops because - hey, you're all our subjects now anyway. All government-sponsored healthcare and welfare is stopped. You're just colonial peons, we're not wasting money on supporting you. If you want to support each other, go right ahead. As long as you're paying your taxes, we don't care. You can have whatever cars, guns, foods etc you like. Want to drink unpasteurized milk while driving a giant diesel truck at 100mph and shooting a machinegun out the window? Fine. Your health, safety and social cohesion is of no concern to us. Do whatever you want as long as you pay your taxes. IN RETURN The only tax that the Crown will allow to be levied is a flat 15% on each subject's earnings in excess of $10k per annum (reasonably adjusted for inflation) and a flat 10% corporation tax charged on all company income in excess of $100k per annum. The personal tax revenue is split, so 5% of that tax is kept to run your internal colonial affairs and we get 10%. We get all the corporation tax. If you want to make other contributions to churches, local projects, schools, charities or whatever from your share, go right ahead - but your regional governments can't force it out of you because only we can raise a tax and we already have our cut so we're not interested. What do you say? How is this not better than what you have at the moment? If you're interested, I can have a word with some people I know and see what we can get set up.

We're thinking of dropping him on Argentina next time they get antsy over the Falklands, until then we're trying to keep him offshore. Russell Brand is a bit of a tit but, by putting him in the same sentence as PM, you've guaranteed him leniency by virtue of comparison. |
