Details
Submitted by[?]: Peoples Movement for an Obedient Society
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: December 2440
Description[?]:
| We, the Peoples Movement for an Obedient Society, propose a higher Sales Tax on Luxury Goods. In addition to this we believe the addition revenue generated can be best spent on increasing Industrial Spending. in particular to regions such as Polkana where the employment figures are slightly down compared to other regions and the wages are considerably lower than elsewhere in our kingdom.

| Message | Would a hang-glider be considered a "luxury" item? If so, we'll have to vote no, I'm afraid. |

| Message | I would have to look up the very long list of luxury items we import and sell in Malivia. However I must admit they are probably on there. However I am more than willing to back bills along the vein of supporting the subsidising of extreme sports or additional health care benefits to the victims of extreme sport injuries :P |

| Message | So long as we help our colleagues in the Xtreme Coalition subsidize hang gliding, I will support this. |

| Message | The outpouring of support is heartening, I think we've been convinced to favor this. |
