A new ideology for everyone

[Priory Academy USSR]

Can someone explain to me how a Value Added Tax works, or do I have to look it up?

An extra tax on most items, excluding basics.

For example, with 20% VAT, a £10 item will have a £2 tax on it.

[Ovisterra]

A high VAT is a tax on the poor.

Ahhhhhh I should stop with this political shit no one truely undrestands my ideas.

I think it's more likely that you don't understand what you're talking about. I understand your ideas perfectly, and am therefore able to tell you they're poorly defined and won't work, let alone be accepted by everyone.

Then take your time to explain them.

[New Vineland]

I'm curious. Elaborate.

[Camaragua]

I'm Melvin and i'm 16 years old.

I want to make up a new ideology where everyone will be happy.
With Free education and free Healthcare.

With a government that helps the people in need.

That does not take our freedom where you can be free with low taxes.

A medium sized government.

A society where all classes work together and without hate and intolerance and for peace and security.

Does this exist today or not?

The government need money to pay everyone, how will they gain their money?
And how will you stop intolerance, there will be always somebody who is intolerant and if you ban it it will ban the freedom of expression :/

[Kleomentia]

Im still a unhappy slave owner, deal with me.

It's actually a lot closer to "I don't understand why my ideas won't work in reality!!!"

[Empire of Vlissingen]

I'm for a mix between communism and capitalism.
The freedom of the West.
And the Equality of Communism.

I'm for a fair society where the government helps you if you really need it.

I think that we should work together to fix the economy by hard work and not hating people.

I'm for helping everyone if possible and everyone should live freely and not be opressed.

[Oneracon]

And how will you stop intolerance there will be always somebody who is intolerant and if you ban it it will ban the freedom of expression :/

I was actually about to bring that up.

Intolerance and hate don't just magically disappear, they are always present. The only way to prevent the dissemination of those negative attitudes are by infringing on the freedom of expression to ban hate speech and discrimination.

Define "living freely". Also, how do you plan to end hate?

But the government has to pay the people who help the others and the world first problem is money :0

You got it!!

[Lerodan Chinamerica]

Quite a vague idea, really. Sounds like socialism, but the low taxes thing conflicts with it.

[Quintium]

With Free education and free Healthcare.

Semi-acceptable. Free healthcare, but only in cases where treatment is for something you did not cause. If you get drunk and pee all over an electric wire, or challenge a boxing champion to a fight, or take an overdose of party pills, you should pay out of your own pockets. If you have cancer or anything like that, I'm alright with paying for your treatment.

With a government that helps the people in need.

And only those in need? I like that. Get the government out of the subsidy business.

That does not take our freedom where you can be free with low taxes.

Agreed! The government is fundamentally evil, and limiting its power over our personal and financial lives is usually a good thing.

I assume you mean "a state, run according to a new ideology, where everyone will be happy".

With Free education and free Healthcare.

TANSTAAFL. Who's paying for the free education, the free healthcare, the welfare if you keep the taxes "low"?

A medium sized government.

"Medium" doesn't say a lot. You should detail what the competences and the exclusive prerogatives of the government should be.

[Brition]

Your ideology existed. It was called the Third Way, and was espoused by Tony Blair and his New Labour party.

The economy died, we aren't allowed to speak our minds, and taxes crept upwards.

In short it doesn't work.

[Risottia]

30% as medium income tax
with a high VAT to lower the income tax.

A high VAT is a tax on the poor.

Who would have expected - from someone who wants "low" taxes - to actually want the lower classes to face the higher taxation/income ratio while the rich enjoy their income tax discount?
Really. Never seen that before.

Freedom of speech and democartic elections and all freedoms we have in Europe.

My plan too end hate is being pacifist and with education programs about all races and classes.

Logically, these are the contradictions.

Red and Blue cannot exist at the same time because welfare requires much more than "low taxes" (though with the previously mentioned "medium taxes" it might possible);

Orange and Green cannot exist at the same time because a government must make minor infringements on rights to protect the people from hate and intolerance (i.e. banning hate speech, banning discrimination in housing/care/services, etc.)

Freedom of speech

Vague. Will there be restrictions on it?

and democartic elections

What type?

and all freedoms we have in Europe.

Different countries in Europe have different freedoms.

My plan too end hate is being pacifist and with education programs about all races and classes.

How will that end hate?

[Zottistan]

There will never be an ideology that makes everybody happy.

Ever.

[The New Sea Territory]

Ideologies need details. How can low taxes = defense and free healthcare?

[Vatican Supremacy]

All I want is a world without filthy liberals who try to take away my religion and my guns

[Risottia]

Different countries in Europe have different freedoms.

Although all CoE citizens enjoy the same basic rights detailed in the ECHR. I guess that would be nice for starters.

Not sure if sarcastic or trollish.
