Trade+Reform

Trade Reform Trading incentives is really where the Ecocrats' green nature starts to show itself. The Ecocrats incentivize eco-friendly items and de incentivize items that hurt the environment. As a few examples, the Ecocrats have less tax on solar panels, wind turbines, energy saving light bulbs, and other things of the sort. However, they tax more on junk food, gas guzzling cars, and energy that is not renewable, like coal and oil. Although this would increase the price of gas, it would encourage the purchase of fuel efficient cars and less dependency on foreign oil. Also, the extra tax on junk food will keep Americans healthier, and over a long period of time, reduce the price of healthcare. The price of healthcare would reduce because less people would have diabetes, and the world would be so much better with cheaper healthcare. The Ecocratic United States would be allied with many countries, and not in many wars. Therefore, there would not be many countries that we could not trade with, and this would result in economical diversity and prosperity. However, the only countries that would not be traded with are any countries that use sweatshops, or practice other violations of human rights. This is purely out of principle, because not trading with the US can be crippling, and may make some countries change their policies. The Ecocrats would improve the food inspection process before food was shipped to the US from other countries. Many illnesses are caught from fruits and other produce that originated in other countries, and this must be stopped. The Ecocrats would create a trading environment where funds would be generated and the citizens would be safe.
