Bill: IC Social Redistribution Agenda
Details
Submitted by[?]: Gaduri Resistencia
Status[?]: passed
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: March 2414
Description[?]:
| Following the program of economic reform introduced during the previous term, the "Independent" Communists suffered considerably at the elections, with many disillusioned "I"C voters supporting other communist parties. With this in mind, the "I"C have launched a new campaign strategy for this term, with a complete U-turn on its previous policies. This bill will effectively completely undo the Limited Economic Reform Act. |

| Message | This is insane. Our economy will end up in ruins with even less privatization! Now everyone has to deal with a single, poor standard on everything. |

| Message | Precisely how does allowing greedy capitalists to exploit workers improve standards of living? With the Communists safely at the helm, the people know they are getting goods they can trust. |

| Message | Capitalism strengthens businesses. When businesses are strenghtened, workers can expect and strike for higher pay. Standards of living are increased. Simple as that. Under communism, businesses fail. When businesses fail, they can't pay their workers well. Standards of living are bad. |

| Message | That's not unlike me saying: Capitalism leads to monopoly. Monopoly allows business leaders to exploit workers and consumers. Standards of living are decreased. Simple as that. Under communism, businesses serve the people, not the other way around. Everybody gets what they need. Standards of living go up. |
