would you work to cut selling tax from 4% to 3%, and child selling tax from 5% to 4%?
I am not sure how these questions are related to my tactical incompetence, but I shall address them in any event.
I am for taxes in general. Because I do ridiculous amounts of trades, I pay ridiculous amounts of taxes on sales of players. I do not believe that the country needs roads or police or decorated light poles adorned with tinsel and red, white and blue ribbons and whatnot. Taxes on sales are only used by lesser politicians wastefully. Starve them of funds, I say, and they will waste away. Or become lobbyists.
That said, I am wholly opposed to child selling taxes. Selling children can lead to no good - they'd just be bought by people, who would likewise have to support them, clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and listen to their mewling and incessant requests for Ipods and Nintendo DSi's and whatnot. I myself present a different option for your consideration.
The main question is how this growing country, which is fast becoming a third world economic power, shall provide for its children. Under the present situation of affairs, this is utterly impossible by all the methods we know. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing, till they arrive at six years old, except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier, during which time, they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers.
I am assured by my economic team of advisers that a boy or a girl before twelve years old is no salable commodity, so no taxes could be thereby generated; and even when they come to this age they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half-a-crown at most on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriment and rags having been at least four times that value.
I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection. I have been assured by my nutrition specialists, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout. Parents who cannot feed their children should instead offer to sell them to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter. I have reckoned upon a medium that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, increaseth to 28 pounds. Surely that could feed many starving families.
So tax not the children. Bar-b-que them instead.

Are there no questions about my lack of ability that I could address?
i have no questions about your lack of ability. Why needing to plagiarize jonathan swift though?
A modest proposal, INDEED.

Come on. No politician has had an original thought since Jefferson secretly slept with Sally Henning.
there wasn't a whole lotta sleeping going on there... if ya know what i'm saying. (ba dump bump)
I wish to announce that I have formed an exploratory committee to explore the potential of my not running for NT coach once again following this season.
The exploratory committee has completed the surveys, conducted the polls, and have canvased the hoi polloi. The recommendation is in - I SHALL NOT RUN ONCE AGAIN.
(Now let me figure out how much budget I have to pay for the ad time necessary.)

I can't wait for the day that someone hacks your account and enters you in the running. :-)
One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
One was blind and the other couldn't see,
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And came and shot the two dead boys.
A paralyzed donkey walking by,
Kicked the copper in the eye,
Sent him through a rubber wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.
(If you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man -- he saw it too!)

In a radical departure from past campaigns (which you all must admit have been massively successful), I shall not this time provide you with additional promises that I have to date been adept at keeping, or promoting platform planks stunning in their logical pointlessness. Rather, I have chosen to make my re-election strategy more conversational in nature. I shall be holding an open "Town Meeting," and will respond to appropriate questions with appropriate non-answers intended to inspire the US community to once again fail to elect me as NT coach, a position for which I am clearly unqualified.
As an aside, please see this game as an example of WHYI am not qualified - http://217.17.40.90/comment.php?matchID=15295790. In particular marvel how my world class keeper gives up three goals to 8 "adequate" shots.
Speaking of shooting, did you know that Chuck Norris can shoot down laser beams by pointing his finger and saying "Bang!"
Who is first?
