Looking for a Democrat clan

Republicans are against taxes (or favour lower taxes) and government-given handouts, and they believe that help should come from church and family.

I, on the other hand, believe that there are some market failures, situations where private costs/benefits are misaligned with social costs/benefits. Hence people, who act on their own self interest, do not take the social benefit into account when making their decisions.

What do I mean by that in the context of Clash of Clans? Well, donations are good for the clan (society). However, the private benefit of donating is much lower than the social benefit of donating, and hence people "under-donate". If you depend on people's good will, help will simply not come fast enough. Hence I believe that a strong leader (government) and a clan with rules (regulation) which require an amount of donation (taxes) is required for things to work.

Ideally everyone would be like me: donate a lot without requiring nagging or rules, doing as much as their capabilities allow. Selfishness. If the world was like that, I would be a Republican, too. But the world is not like that. I am tired of donating 10 times more than the second highest donator and I want a clan that either has people who act like me and are giving or that has strong requirements about donations. I also require a clan where English is the only language spoken (even though I am not a native speaker).

By the way I am level 59, TH8.

Or you could have just said you wanted a clan that donates a lot, and not alienated half the populace.

I'm not going to get into politics, but why not just "I want a donating clan" instead of making some whack-job political metaphor?

That's is how I think. It is my post, and I write it the way I see fit to find like-minded people. I imagine some people will understand what I mean, and those are the people I am looking for. If you don't agree, then your clan is not for me and you shouldn't even bother replying. Of course, if you reply to disagree with my ideas but explaining why you disagree with my ideas, I would find it interesting and would welcome it. I like discussing politics, and I especially like talking to people who disagree with me, but calling my post "whack-job" it not constructive in any way.

This forum isn't for politics, therefore I won't be discussing them. End of story.

You don't want to discuss my ideas, you don't have a clan for me. I simply don't understand why you are replying. It is my ad, I write it the way I want.
