- Taxation is theft has been written by many in US politics. Today, we see what happens if I cancel all taxes (income tax, corporation tax etc.) whilst running for re-election as President of the United States of America. Not quite EU4, Democracy 4 is a political simulator where you can implement policies to please voters in order to win elections whilst solving the nation's problems....at least, that's what you're meant to do. In this video, I battle to keep curfews and censorship laws in place, eroding american democracy in order to stay one step ahead of my incredible national debt.
Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas!

About the game (Steam Page):
Democracy 4 lets you take the role of President / Prime minister, govern the country (choosing its policies, laws and other actions), and both transform the country as you see fit, while trying to retain enough popularity to get re-elected...
Built on a custom-built neural network designed to model the opinions, beliefs, thoughts and biases of thousands of virtual citizens, Democracy 4 is the state-of-the-art in political simulation games. A whole new vector-graphics engine gives the game a more adaptable, cleaner user interface, and the fourth in the series builds on the past while adding a host of new features such as media reports, coalition governments, emergency powers, three-party systems and a more sophisticated simulation that handles inflation, corruption and modern policy ideas such as quantitative easing, helicopter money, universal basic income and policies to cover current political topics such as police body cameras, transgender rights and tons more.
Democracy 4 is the ultimate sandbox for testing out your political ideas. We all think our politicians are useless and that we could do a better job ourselves, but is that really true? With one eye on the budget, one-eye on the polls, and somehow finding time to watch out for terrorist attacks at the same time, you will find that staying in power while changing society for the better is a tougher job than you ever imagined.
Would it really be a good idea to legalize all drugs? to give the police machineguns? to ban abortion? to invest heavily in green energy? would UBI really work? can you stay elected after cutting pensions in half to pay for your science budget? There is only one game that lets you find out!
The intention in designing this game is to have no implied bias whatsoever (tricky, but we try!) so this is NOT a game that is going to lecture you about politics, or tell you that your beliefs are wrong. This is a strategy game, not a political protest :D. If you want to turn your country into ayn rand's fantasy, abolish all public spending and all taxes, you can do that. it might work, it might not! depending on how you handle it. On the other hand if you want to nationalise the railways, the energy companies, the water companies, cap CEO pay, ban second-home ownership and put universal income in place, you can do that too. All the game tries to do is model the likely effects, short and long term of any action you take.
Because modders have so enthusiastically supported earlier games in the series, we are doing our bet to make Democracy 4 as mod-friendly as possible too, and steam workshop support will make choosing and installing mods easy. Ultimately all our data is in text files that you can edit yourself, so if you think our analysis of the link between car tax and car usage is wrong (for example), its trivial to edit it, and share your changes with other players.
Ultimately Democracy 4 is not a game about simply winning an election, but about running the country. Losing an election is just the end-game (unless you get assassinated), the real challenge to the game is whether or not you can create a country you are honestly proud of. I hope you enjoy trying :D

"Debt is just a number" - Greece 2007
A great case study for this situation.
Greece pays super high taxes though
Yessss please play more democracy 4, this was rly fun!
That's the plan depending on the response! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!
Yes play more it's a good shake up
I'd like to point out that both the rich and the poor loved him
I unify people!
Makes sense being that he got rid of all taxes, poor people don't like being poor and rich people like being richer.
Video idea: Play democracy 4 as a democracy through discord
That’s one idea I have!
This... this is art.
Haha, I take it you enjoyed it then?
@@TheSocialStreamers ... just a tad bit hahah.
You either beat Big Government in the election, or govern long enough to become them
We’re nothing like them!
Large government isn't JUST large taxes, it's everything you did plus taxes
after winning the vote with 90%: The republic will be reorganized into the first taxfree empire!!!
"Damn. Almost had a tax there"
- Social Streamers 2021
It could have been DISASTROUS.
@@TheSocialStreamers Think of the vote... the citizens!
Looking forward to what absolute ridiculous political ideology your going to invent next in this game
My journey to invent Laithism has begun. Follow me.
This is where Laith unleashes his inner JrEg
If you're looking for ridiculous political ideologies, look what Kaiserreich fans come up with. Or just create a socialist Mafia state like in Kaiserredux
Ancaps are certainly happy.
I managed to change my populace from liberal to conservative with this one trick...
"Now the next goverments will receive all of the problema " Argentina: first time ?
I really like the originality and memability that this will open the door up to.
Glad you agree!
Oh great, another game to get obsessed about.... Thanks!! :D
It’s genuinely brilliant - lots of great stuff can be had with this game, especially from an audience participation point of view! Thanks for clicking on it!
@@TheSocialStreamers can we expect "Democracy 4 but Discord decides my policies" video? 👀
Something along those lines :D
So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause.
i always thought i was strange in these games that reducing taxes has very little affect on GDP, your citizens probably had something like 50% more income to spend and the economy didnt grow at all lol
makes sense if you think about it. They have 50% more income to spend but also now have to take into their own hands all the things that govt was spending. ie: maintenance of public spaces, healthcare, education etc...
@@spliter88sure in an abstract sense but how come the government taking the same money and then giving it back in the form of tax credits does affect GDP? they still have the same amount of money, im asuming in the case that you dont actually reduce government spending
@@spliter88 Killing Middle Easterners, feeding through useless bureaucrats, paying teachers so their children can have 3rd grade reading abilities at age 18. All those useful services they'll have to do themselves.
@@willforest5302 The real reason is that GDP includes government spending. If the government conscripted everyone to dig ditches and paid them in money they print, GDP would grow by whatever they price the ditches at.
@@willforest5302 When they don't "actually reduce spending" but give tax credits, the price of everything goes up. So real GDP stays about the same.
TheSocialStreamers: *wins election by 51-49 margin*
"I see this as an absolute win!"
4:59 yes thats right his say this.
Glad you are following in the steps of your ancestors
Always.
Now do a run where you destroy health care
Now THIS is a fun idea...
just like IRL
4:59 reis lafı yapıştırmış...
As an American I can confirm, we do NOT like taxes
A proud subscribor of this channel is back
Taxes be like : am I a joke to you ?
Great video, please keep them coming!
Try to do the exact opposite thing next time and eliminate the national debt by all means! :D
Thanks! And thank you for the suggestion! :D
@Sangheili Elite Wallis and Futunia:
Cancels tobacco tax.
5 secs later....
Oh respiratory diseases ain’t nothing we can do about that!
Taxation is theft, we know this.
@@TheSocialStreamers ever heard of a sin tax?
Great video man I know that making something that isn't eu4 could be risky but you always make great content mo matter the game don't worry if some don't like it
Thanks man! Going forward we do want to vary our content a bit, so we appreciate the support!
Most Libertarian thing I saw in years
When you are tired of people evading taxes so you just cancel all taxes so they can't evade them
Modern problems require modern solutions.
When is it coming to mobile??
Wins election with 20% vote lol
Still a win!
"Debt is just a number" I see you have discovered Modern Monetary Theory
Yes Yes Yes. Democracy 4 is welcomed in my book.
Glad you like it! It’s a great game!
@@TheSocialStreamers I follow on it's development alot! It is a real shocker tgat you played it.
Man hands country over to monopolies, "how can we be uncompetitive?!".
I got a turbotax ad on this video 💀
Make yourself an absolute monarch in democracy 4 that would be *chefs kiss*
laith for president
That’s what the American people want.
Oh also are you gonna eventually make some interesting shorts like idk "funny moments" from videos etc.
We’re definitely considering it!
superb. can we get no bank nterest version? or enviriontment friendly county? or an MMT? or free press
Based
Hope you like it my friend!
@@TheSocialStreamers As an avid Democracy 4 player myself, I enjoyed it very much :)
@@explodingwolfgaming8024 Glad to hear it! :D
Authoritative on crime. Free on markets is the way to go!
And how is that going to affect on healthcare since America clearly has expensive healthcare, compare to the rest of the world they have universal healthcare.
Great video
Cheers!
Love your videos but 4 seconds isn’t long enough to decide which link to click at the end
I'm kinda sad that you didn't go full ancap, but oh well
I love Democracy (4). I love the Republic.
Fun!
Cheers for the support!
if only it were that easy
BRUH

Because you are based.

Or maybe not.
It brings a tear to my libertarian eye!
Based.
Unironically, thats gonna be America in like 10 years.
Role-playing as a Republican I see.
Nice
Cheers!
love this
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Lib-right dream.....
Too bad they have to pay thousands of dollars on healthcare. Europeans pay little.
why so many people end up not voting? it's kinda weird, specially if the government looks so unpopular
Censorship of the media, curfew, racial tensions and lack of faith in democracy - basically what I hoped was going to happen.
@@TheSocialStreamers well, it sure worked haha
The alternative is worse.
Democracy 4 is too easy. At least As France I managed to get soo much surplus budget in such a little time...
You should have cancelled all spending first pay off debt and then cancel taxes😤
How much for the citizenship? Dream country.
Pog
Make %50 Income tax next time like Germany.
What about "Democracy 4 but I cancel everything"
That could be fun!
@@TheSocialStreamers do you know when it’s coming to mobile?
999 LIKES MY GUYSS
LETS FUCKINGGGGGG GOOOOOOOOOOOO NO THEFT
Hahahah, exactly!
Yes.
Imagine paying taxes
Imagine paying thousands of dollars on healthcare. Only Americans. Smh
Taxation IS theft though. Pay your own way. End of
Taxation is extortion. Look at what happens when people don’t pay taxes.
Im a leftie watching this video and laughing my ass off. -,-
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
👏🤣
Yes, tax is theft!
so no taxes went really went until 10 years after? this sounds like some kind of propaganda but idk if is pro taxes or agaisnt them xd
Amerykański Lutel Xd
America today seems not to far from this future...
Do it for Reagan
@3:26 no need to feel sorry for the cancellation of gay marriage, no like they're going to be straight anytime and be productive members of society, by having children anyways.
Braking news, the USA is now a tax-free place to live in, woohoo!
For the rich.
this... is not how goverment is supposed to work.
You sound like Big Government.
First
Cheers for being first mate!
