Details
Submitted by[?]: Orange Liberty Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2360
Description[?]:
It is not the place of the government to tax the people for their own care. Citizens can prepare for their own retirement better than the government through investment and savings, using the same funds that are now being taxed out of their wages. By preparing for their own retirement, the people also learn how to better manage their budgets and achieve greater fiscal independence. |

Message | We should take care of our people, and if they save up for their own retirement, they wont be retired because Lodamun is a very social place to live in and the quality of life is so high because we take good care of our citizens. |
Date | 15:38:51, February 13, 2007 CET | From | Orange Liberty Party | To | Debating the Retirement Reform Act of 2358 |
Message | The OLP feels that the federal government is too far-reaching, and that the compulsory public pension system is one of the most unnecessary of its behaviors. Citizens will appreciate not being taxed their entire lives for something they are fully able to do on their own, or that their employer may already provide them. |
