Roleplay:Taxageddon

''"Large taxes without approved faxes is ABSOLUTE TYRANNY!" - 1776"''

Things can indeed happen. Sure, taxes can be raised by maybe .0009% every year, but this RP is filled with OUTRAGEOUS taxes! I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about: The Federal Republic of Emeraldsbourg is considering passing the Military Tax Act 2010 to enact a new military tax of 19.6%!!!? That's not all. More large taxes will come. How will everyone act with them?

Emeraldsbourg Parliament
''Well, duh. Who would pass the taxes? Because it is SB's country, SB13 will control Parliament. They will be villains, but some may be helpful.''

Heroes
''These guys and girls try to fight the taxes. How?''
 * SB's Mascot Characters (SB13)
 * PBC Employees (SB13)
 * MEP from Chaos Lake District 1 (SB13; he's the ONLY Parliament member who opposes Taxageddon)
 * Ryushu the Cat and Pokes (played by Ryu; this looks like a pool-full of fun!)
 * Shanoa the Fox (played by Ryu)
 * Albus the Cat (played by Ryu)
 * Kotuumath the Halfbreed (played by Ryu)
 * Linebeck the Ferret (played by Ryu)
 * Shahooter the Owl, Cameron the Wolf, and their pokemon (KP)
 * Kyle the Hedgehog (played by Vampire93)

Neutral
''These guys and girls support and/or oppose the taxes. What re their motives, though?''

Billy-Ray the Hedgehog (played by Vamp. His employer AND him both dislike these taxes, so he's been hired to assassinate all the MEPs.)

Villains
These people support the taxes and will do anything to stop the heroes.
 * MOST of the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Emeraldsbourg (SB13)

Prologue: Passage of the Military Tax Act
MEP 1: We must raise revenue.

MEP 2: But HOW????

(Yelling is occurring on the House of Legislators floor, but then, another Parliament member steps in.)

MEP 3: We should raise taxes!

MEP 2: Are you BONKERS???

MEP 3: No, but look at the BENEFITS! (shows everyone the benefits.)

MEP 1: That's pretty good.

''So then, Parliament took their final vote. However, an MEP from Chaos Lake figured out a way to raise money without raising taxes. ''

Chaos Lake MEP: Wait!!!!........

''But by then, it was too late. Although the 19.6% increase in taxes was peculiar, Parliament still passed it 194 to 29 in September, and the Prime Minister....''

Prime Minister: Oh well.......

Chaos Lake MEP: NO!!!!!!!! (He can only watch in silence as the Prime Minister SIGNS the act, making it a law.)

Prime Minister: And so, the Military Tax Act is passed.

Chaos Lake MEP: Oh my goodness.....

Part 1: Road to another tax?
[RP starts here]

(Meanwhile...)

Scooter: Ahhh....(Scooter is seen relaxing on Loka Beach, when he gets the news of the new tax)....HOLY FUDGECAKES!!!! A 19% TAX??? This is outrageous!

(Soon, other residents are getting the news as well.)

Person: Those fudgers at Parliament! TAXES WITHOUT FAXES IS ABSURD!!!

People: Yeah!

(Soon, everyone is chanting "Taxes without faxes is absurd". Ryu happens to hear the chanting...)

Ryu: Huh? What's going on...?

Scooter: Those bastards in PARLIAMENT made this 19% military tax! (Walks on, shouting)

Ryu: 19%?!
 * (Ryu-Although in all reality, I'm terrible at math and percentages! :B)

Person: It's a LOT of Mobiums. And look, they want to pass ANOTHER tax for 25%!

(However, there was one MEP that hated the taxes, too. He was watching from an unknown ledge.)

Chaos Lake MEP: Hmmm.....should I join?...

Ryu: This is ridiculous! I'm joining the protest!

(Ryu joins the protestors.)

All of Them: TAXES WITHOUT FAXES IS ABSURD!!!

(At the Legislative Center, Mobius Corners.....)

MEP 1: We should pass this act, too.

MEP 2: You know, we might attract protestors.

MEP 1: Do you WANT to get fired?

MEP 2: NO!!! (in a corner, he is cuddled up) I love my job....I love my job.

Speaker of the House: Order, order. We vote on the passage of the Levied Sales Tax Act.

(With the Protestors)

[Shahooter seems to be in the Protest, along with Cameron and the Imperial Guard, Space Guard, and strangely, the out-dated Windstalkers...]

(Rrrrrofl)

(Meanwhile....)

MEP 1: I vote "yes".

Speaker of the House: Well, that was the last vote. So we will PASS the Levied Sales Tax Act.

[A series of boos is heard. Someone throws a rotten tomato.]

MEP 2: (out of the corner) Maybe we should repeal.....

MEP 1: NO!!!!

???: "Oh yeah?"

[A rotten tomato hits MEP 1's Shoe. The thrower appeared to be Cameron the Wolf, the crowd gasps.]

Cameron: "You are someone who tries and holds extreme power in the court....what do they call 'em now a days..?"

MEP 6: Sorry sir, but the High Court is not in session today.

(Shanoa, Albus, Kotuumath and Linebeck are also there!)

Linebeck: I know what to call 'em! A fat cat!
 * (Ryu-Not meaning to offend any cats out there LOL)

Cameron: "I don't care if it's not in session."

[Cameron opens a Data-slate over-looking pages of his History Book on "How a Law is made".]

???: PROTEST FAIL!

MEP 1: How a law is made, NOT how a law is made in the F.R.E.

Cameron: "Pfft, here, hold this..."

[Cameron hands a Football to MEP 1.]

Kyle: (appears behind the MEP1) BOO! I say again, PROTEST FAIL!

MEP 1: And I say, (pulls an alarm) Warning! Intruder alert! (Robots and Midland Corps guards come in to apprehend.)

Cameron: "Rofl..."

[Random Windstalkers come in and snatch the ball from MEP 1, accidentally landing on Kyle.]

[Cameron clicks a button on his Wristwatch.]

(Kyle teleports out of the way.)

Kyle: Why has nothing exploded yet? This is a PROTEST, not a tea party!

Kotuumath: Yeah! Let's blow things up1

Midland Corps Member: ALERT!!! Apprehend by ANY MEANS NESSECARY!!

(Midland Corp troops and robots attack)

Kyle: Now THIS is more like it!

[The attacks turn into like a Barfight, the Robots suddenly deactivate.]

Cameron: "Wasen't called a Technopriest for nothin'."

[Cameron sticks out his tongue and shrugs.]

MEP 7: (sends out a radio message)

Kyle: W00T! (blows up something)

[More Windstalkers and Imperial Guardsmen come in...they seem to see the fight as a test of muscle and strength...Cameron deploys a weird looking thing.]

(Soon, federal troops and S.W.A.T Sullivan County officers come in)

S.W.A.T Officer: You are ALL under arrest!

Albus: OHSHI-

Cameron: "Well...we are just protesting, but sirs, I say you see this..."

[Cameron shows a clip from the weird looking device, it shows MEP 1 saying "Intruder Alert." as Cameron was protesting.]

Random Windstalkers: "Well, we only see this as a test of our mettle."

S.W.A.T Officer: Fine, but you (points to Kyle) are under arrest for destruction to government property!

Kyle: Nup. Screw you! (vanishes)

S.W.A.T Officer: (on radio) All police officers, please be on the lookout for "Kyle the Hedgehog". He is WANTED for destruction to government property.

Cameron: "Well, seeing this protest act is done...smoothies anyone, excluding Kyle."

[Cameron gives off a nasty glare at Kyle for using a bomb.]

(Later...)

[Cameron was drinking a Vanilla Milkshake, everyone else has Strawberry, or Apple Smoothies...Cameron seemed to have a very good economy even though he's such a young boy in his teenage years.]

(On PBC One) Katie: I'm Katie Lambard with your update.....Parliament has voted to pass the Blountford Acts.....

Cameron: ..."Blight."

Katie:...these acts will create taxes on food, paper and fruit juice.

Cameron: "Excuse me for a moment.."

[Cameron walks into the males' restroom, a series of Cameron's jabbertalk is heard in there.]

Cameron: "Dang it Daggit! Of all the Jibber-Jabber!"

Shanoa: Um....

[Oddly, the only MEP who HATES the taxes is an MEP from Chaos Lake...]

Part 2: Meeting/The Food Tax
Chaos Lake MEP: Where can they be?? I want to talk to them.

[A hard knock is heard on the door.]

Chaos Lake MEP: I wonder who that is?

[The door is kicked open, it appears to be Cameron, with a grim look on his face.]

Chaos Lake MEP: WOAH!!! I oppose the taxes as well.

Cameron: "You wanted to talk with me?"

Chaos Lake MEP: My colleagues believe raising taxes without faxes is right, but I think it is ABSURD.

Cameron: "If they start a Glacian Tax, I'm sure they might draw in the Glacian Swordwielders..Then things'll look ugly ever since Shahooter's Rebellion."

Chaos Lake MEP: That rebellion....it's the reason why Stewburt repealed its laws but then passed the Windstalker Ordinance. It was amended later because of the Imperial Guard's formation. There is NO plan for a Glacian Tax.

Cameron: "The Windstalkers still exist...only a mere handful.."

(Meanwhile, the news is on...)

Katie: This is PBC NewsNet, the headlines at 5:30. Parliament proposes passing a food tax to make up for revenue....

(There is a collective groan throughout the small group.)

Linebeck: No wonder Parliament's also known as "The Ministry of F***"...

Katie: ....but they are also thinking about lowering the 19% Military Tax.

Ryu: Well, that's good.

(After the open)

Katie: We have breaking news; Parliament is voting on the Food Tax Revenue Act.

(Everyone watches the T.V intently.)

Speaker: Order, order. (2 votes left, it is 198 yea to 197 nay)

All: ..........

(Then, it is 198 each with 1 vote left, the Chaos Lake MEP!)

Scooter: Well, we can breathe a little easier.....

Kotuumath: Eh?

Scooter: Cameron met with him, he says he opposes the taxes too.

Shanoa: And he works for Parliament?

Scooter: Yes. He serves the city of Chaos Lake.

Ryu; Well, at least one of them's on our side.

(With the last vote....)

Chaos Lake MEP: I vote that....(collapses)

MEPs: (gasps, then some of them scream)

Speaker: Order, ORDER!

(Eventually, the Chaos Lake MEP gets up, but his pupils appear RED, not blue. So...)

Chaos Lake MEP: I vote.....(in a robot voice) Yes, the tax is needed.

Scooter: Gasp!thumb|100px|right

Ryu/Shanoa/Albus/Linebeck/Kotuu: OH NOES!! D:

(But then, the act must be SIGNED)

Prime Minister: What's this? A FOOD tax? WE ALREADY HAVE SALES TAX!!! (rips up the act)

MEP 1: I'll take that as a "veto".
