Bill: Fair Wage
Details
Submitted by[?]: National 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: May 2440
Description[?]:
| The National Party proposes that any full-time worker must be able to survive on his salary alone. A full-time worker cannot be expected to hold multiple jobs. We believe that this is a moral necessity and a common-sense expectation that will: - Reduce poverty - Reduce crime - Increase productivity - Promote bigger families, increasing the tax base |

Proposed: There shall be a minimum wage at a level considered a "living wage," well above the poverty line for a full time worker.

| Message | A fair wage is determined by the value of work done, and amount of work done, as well as training needed, risks taken etc. I think the current system is fair. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
