Fark Ohassi was in disadvantage. Aiken had really good moves. Maybe Fark was getting old. Well, if you can't beat them, join them. [glow=Green,2,300]I apreciate it, Senator, I hope that together we can deal with this matter correctly. [/glow] he knew that by taking this position, Aiken would be the bigger man, but he had plans. Alliances that are well-built tend to result in great things he thought.

Aiken nodded to the older Fark with respect, he had the advantage today but another day will be someone elses, and he knew that all to well. Now he sat back nad listened ot the debate over War Bonds or Taxing trade goods for sale not routes, greater income taxes to aid in the potential war. All of these were worthy of debate now he was bidding time till the Vote for the committee. That was where his focus was, and now he was sure he would get on it with the plays performed here today. Of course the vote woudl not happen right away either. He took notes on each plan given to the Senate to think about. then the Session was adjourned for the Day and tomorrow the Senate would vote on who is in the Comittee.

Earily the next morning the Senator Vikois walked onto his senatoral hover d*** that was docked. He had ended yesterday on nearly the same point of the Senator Aiken. The bothe of them had already gained quite a name for themselves. They had argued for quite a bit then their debate had ended in Aiken's word growing in power and Viskois earning renoun for the creation of the commetee. Things had worked out well for bothe of them. Now he waited as his aides prepaired notes and information to debate farther into the commetee and taxation of the trade roughts.

AIken enters the Senate wearing a very crips and sharp blue suit. His assissatants were right behind him also wearing the same color blue as they took their seats and awaited for the Senate to commence today. He was surprised at how many welcomed him as he entered the building this morning, yesterday no one had done that but stared curiously at him instead.

Viskois noded to Aiken as he entered. He wondered it their mutal agreement of yesterday would continue on to today. He hoped that would be so but he would not be the under lackie of this Senator. He would have to prove that he had his own ideas and plans.

Senator Fark Ohassi entered the Galactic Senate in a lavender robe. Lavender, worn by senators of the Old Republic commonly, for lavender did not represent war in any culture within the Galaxy. He whispered to his aides[glow=Green,2,300]Send this message to Senator Aiken and Senator Viskois.[/glow] The message contained a note saying: Senators, yesterday you did well as to the matter of the droids. I see a promising future for you. If I may, I'd like to have a word with you. He then nodded to the other Senators.

(( OOC: Chris, I was talking about a private conversation))
He replied the first message to everyone.
Good, then we will be able to discuss the fate of this hunt.
Then the one from Senator Aiken: Good, meet me at my quarters, and tell this to Senator Viskois.

the debate early on was all about paying for the Droids if they succedded in thier test. The ones that were getting th emost time were on taxes on sales or income tax increases on private citizens. Aiken activatated the consule and moved forward to address the senate.
If i May senator, i disagree with the fact you think people wont mind being taxed more just to cover the war efforts. I think we do war bonds. That way people who can afford them will buy them and make money on them in the end also. We may lose some money in the end of this war, but we will win the public over by simply making it easy on the ones who are already in trouble.
Then he sat back and waited for what he expected to be a reprisal form that senator.

Viskois thought for a moment. Then he activated his hover platform,
Agreed, the people should not be taxed to continue a war. Though there must be a source of income to the war and relief efforts. A means must be made for investigations of murders caused by jedi and relief to planest who are attacked. Along the path of this war we must not let our Republic burn, then we will have nothing to return to once the war is over. I suggest slight taxation of the wealthy, those who have abondence and are also willing to give to the cause. I for one will be buying these War bonds and be contrubiting somes of Credits to teh war effors. There are wealth patriots of the Republic and we should use them but also not unfairly as to lose their faith in the Republic

how do you propse we tax the wealthy without making htem feel like targets cause of their wealth Senator?
Aiken totally agreed but he was nto about to neglect his future money makers either for his campaigns to be re-elected. The money had to come form somewhere and the rich did nto deserve all their money, afterall Aiken was realtivly poor as well.

[glow=Green,2,300]I agree with you Senator Viskois. But we must be awar, that, wealthy people and corporatives do not tend to contribute with a cause if there is not a good return for them. Monetarily, I mean. I will buy these war-bonds, rest assured, but I am not sure if the wealthy and the powerful will.[/glow] He said, and made a good point, as chatter ran through the other members of the Senate, and some positive gestures.

Senator Talonsia stepped onto her platform. She could barely believe how late she was! And the Senate was no her OWN PLANET!
She hoped she hadn't missed much, but she had been investigating the bizzar happenings on Selonia.
[glow=blue,2,300]Senators, there is another option....[/glow] Aunna said.
[glow=blue,2,300]We can perhaps set a limit of one bond per family to be bought. That way everyone is doing their Job, and still getting rewarded for it.[/glow]she suggested....the thought still needed work, but it was a start.

Senator talonsia so if someone wants to contribute more we say no sorry we have enough now? Sorry Senator just teasing. I think that is not very plausable. But the idea of a limit is appealing. Maybe say the amount to be spent is a limit at 5,000 credits? Thats more then enough for any one family to put up and should keep the intrest low enough to not affect the Republic when they are due. At least by the figures i have they will make approx. 500 credits if the war does nto go beyond a year that is.
He was definaitly enjoying this politics game now. Just take someone elses idea and imporve it. Easy to do. But he kept his demeanor at all times never smiling never letting on to his emotions ever.

Some families may not ba able to pay the bond over. I suggest we make a deal witht he upper class. I suggest we tell them of the patriot tax and tell them that the tax will only go on for as long as the war does. Then when the war is over they will go tax free for as long as they were taxed. This will give them their money back and then some and also save us credits for the more money they contribute the faster the war will be over.
He was smileing on the inside yet he did not show it. Things were going well today.

Good idea Senator, but we must make sure we can cover the expenses all around..May i suggest we do both ways. A Tax which i do suggest we be veyr veyr careful of, and a Bond for sale to the Public with a maximum. Thsi way we can be sure to cover our selves completely. And i would like see numbers on that also. See how much money we may loose on both accounts if the war takes a while to end.
this was where he needed to watch his step, they all did. If they went bankrupt trying to pay for this war it will have done it all for nothing.

I have done the numbers senator, I like to be prepaired. And of coarse we will have to use bothe methods.
After the war we would only have to raise the tax on food items by .5%. Not a heavy charge that is ratio .78 credit per credit spent. With the increce there are projected credit loss will only be 13% decrece to our post war revenue. Agreed?
He forwarded the math to each of the senatoral pods.
