MessageThe benefits of getting a better paid job are severaly limited by the current system. This enourages people to do lower status jobs, since the potential material gain is lowered by repressive taxation

This system will mean those who earn more pay more, without all their money being taken by the state, thus encouraging people to claim benefits or not follow up their education

MessageI think the idea of this bill is good, but I would make some changes to the numbers. Looking at the current budget (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/budget.php?nationid=19), we have an $8.5M surplus, but this budget would cut revenue by approximately $40M.

I like the cutoffs at every $2500, but think possibly cutoffs at $2000 might work better. I'm going to research some of this.

As this bill stands, I must disagree, but I concur with the concept of a tax adjustment.

Messageas I said in the other thread, nevermind.

As long as the budget is balanced, the OLP will support the Finance Minister's suggestions.
