The 55th Coså budget set a target of
ℓ325 ($US487.50) in voluntary fundraising to fund our programme.
I am announcing today the
PATRIOT POINTS programme to encourage broad participation in the fundraising scheme. Every citizen gets one Patriot Point for every $1 of
"voluntary taxation" (donations) (click the CONTRIBUTE graphic on the front page of
our national website) or
stamp/coins sales, as confirmed by the Burgermeister of Internal Revenue.
Whoever has the most PATRIOT POINTS on 15th April* this year will receive
the Seneschál's Medal for Merit in the regularly-scheduled Investitures Ceremony (El Lexhatx F.40.2). Second prize is a fancy certificate. Third prize is
you're fired a slightly less fancy certificate.
Please bear in mind that this Voluntary Taxation Programme is proof of concept. If Talossans respond to it well, we can consider removing
other forms of taxation - for example, the fees to run in Cosa/Senäts elections. I'm not personally a fan of pay-to-play democracy, but we can consider abolishing them
if Talossans show that they are responsible enough to fund State activities voluntarily.
Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favour.
* or 15th May if we have a month of recess
