Now that we have that sorted perhaps we could deal with the issue of Salaries of Government Officials by Passing a Bill into Law, which states that a Government Official should get X for just being a Minister or whatever a bonus of Y if s/he does a good job and a Penalty of Z, if s/he doesn't do anything and is plainly inactive in his/her post.
In addition the amount given to a Post that qualifies should be set so that no-one starts to complain that the system is fair to some and unfair to other and that all Citizens' posts are equal in value and Unviersial in Value.
Once again, my 2 cents....

I would like to suggest three things: 1. That having an account is mandatory (unless one is a citizen of a nation with a foriegn government account).
I have not been taking account of the tax burden of the members of this forum who do not have an accounts currently. Under the current "we'll be nice and back-credit your posts" system, someone could be evading tax by not having an account, build up a balance and it would be very difficult to accurately and fairly tax the lump sum.
2. That balances may be negative, and that a debt of more than 10 Tolars to the Government be sufficient for the Minister of Immigration to propose to the National Assembly that that an individual's account and citizenship be revoked. In such case, the citizen shall have 14 times 24 hours to veto such a proposal, and the Minister of Immigration shall attempt to contact the citizen to inform him of the intentions of the ministry.
3. That balances of UNB accounts be made public on these boards, to ensure transperancy of procedure.

I agree with the 1st suggestion as well as the others basically.

For the First suggestion, I agree completely with you, but will there be a Tax on Non-Nationals or could they keep their money in an Ocian Bank Account Tax and duty Free? Thus evading their taxes in their own country by having a Un/Declared Tax Free Ocian Bank Account.
2. Perhaps the Minister of Justice or Finance would be a more apt person to deal with this situaiton than the Minister for Immgration, who's job is more or less to promote and Aid New Citizens in joining Ocia, rather than handling Tax Evasion Matters, which doesn't seem apt to his/her role.
3. While this seems good, there is a small issue of Privacy and Data Protection as regards people's Bank Account Balances. (e.g. Someone might not like their Account Details being posted pubically, just like you wouldn't want your real Bank A/C details published. Perhaps however, may I suggest that the Ministry of Finance appoint a Council of Independent Auditors (1-5 members) from the Citizens to review each citizens account on a regular basis to ensure the procedure of Tax and Post Accredation is being followed by the UNB, this will keep people's bank Details Private and it still will undergo a review.

1. I agree that being a tax haven could be very beneficial. Look at what an attractive tax structure has done to Ireland in recent years. So tomorrow I shall also address this in my report on fiscal policy. 2. True, I propose that the Minister of Finance shall be responsible for tracking tax evasion. And shall report to the Minister for Justice in case of a national, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the case of a foriegn a/c. 3. While privacy is important, due to the open nature of the post count, it is reasonably easy to estimate how many Tolars everyone has.

As regards issue no 3, I think these articles from the constitution should be addressed.

What changes to these articles do you have in mind?

well, no changes, just people's permission will need to be sought before any information is published.

You are right. In you opinion is their any violations of privicy on the Ocian forum?

Post by Michael Dervin OCS on Nov 14, 2007 17:02:47 GMT -4
No, because what people publish on the forum has to be done by his/her own hand and thus with his/her knowledge and consent.
However after further looking into this issue, it raises the question about what is a "private life" issue, would you suppose that a person's bank account would be a "private life" issue?
