Head of the Treasury , Freshman Executive

Chief Executive Officer and owner of Corporate Corporation May 24th, 2012----
There were two editorials in the August 5th, 2012 issue of the Triumvirate Today one titled *Too much to "The Corporation"*- By Speaker of the Administration Nremni the second titled *PEACE Act Will Kill Businesses* - By Owner of First Nation Consulting Ermier. Now this is **not** a speech on bashing them, more along the lines of rebuking and dispelling their worries and concerns about business practices in the Triumvirate.

First, on *Too much to "The Corporation"*- by Nremni. As Head of the Treasury, member of the Executive Branch and business owner I can honestly say that there is **NO** repeat **NO** corruption in the Executive Branch or with me or Ehyta! As business owning Executives, under Section 6 of the Government Ethics Act we have to step out of **any** vote that would have any gains for our businesses or our rivals, as Ehyta did several weeks ago.

As a business owner... yes I find it unbelievable that in ten weeks I will hold almost a fifth of the economy under myself and my corporation, however before this event of finishing the contract Ehyta and I both held 66.25% of the entire economy... almost two-thirds exactly of the entire economy in just two people with Ehyta and General Media holding almost half... half in one person and his business, I'd say a fifth of the economy in one person is better than a half, No disrespect towards Ehyta on this. One person owning a fifth of all the Tri in the economy isn't corruption, it's both business savy and their initial investment into the economy before becoming a member of the Triumvirate.

Also, there is no tax, which I will defend to keep true so long as I'm Head of the Treasury, yet out of my own free will 10% of all income to my business goes straight to the Government. The contract that was just completed states that CC will get 800 Tri after all is said and done the next ten weeks, that means 80 Tri will go back to the government. This shall remain true so long as I am an Executive and a business owner. And I'm not stamping out small businesses, I'm encouraging it! If I was "snuffing out" small businesses I'd be buying them out, take Schay Enterprises for example, if I wanted too I could buy him out make it Corporate Engineering with him as Chief Engineering Officer but I haven't and won't unless he wants to sell which I doubt he would anyway. And if no one's noticed I wont be taking a salary from CC except to possibly buy newspapers from General Media.

Second, on *PEACE Act Will Kill Business*- by Ermier. As Head of the Treasury, I'd like to think of my position as an extension not only to the Department of the Treasury but as monitor of the Economy, along side my counterpart Stavrok and his role as Head of Commerce and Industry. I don't believe that the PEACE Act will kill business in the Triumvirate, in fact I'd say it'll encourage business growth. The more people who see the Triumvirate as a result of the PEACE Act, the more that are likely to join. The more likely they are to join the more likely new businesses will start up, effectively increasing the number of businesses. Now should Stavrok not run for Major Executive again or more likely his one year term is up, would be better as he'd focus solely on businesses as Head of Commerce and Industry. Also, as Head of the Treasury I'm focused more internally than externally and will bring it to the Executive Branch's attention should an issue arise with businesses if Stavrok hasn't done so first.

As a business owner, I'd say I could have rivals soon if the PEACE Act does what I hope it does as I mentioned speaking on my position as Head of the Treasury.

As I conclude this speech I close with one last remark, due to Section 14.1 by the end of 2014 unless removed by then I would have stepped down as Head of the Treasury to focus solely on my business or possible liquidation should it not be receiving any business.

Thank you for your attention,
