Bill: Economic Relief Act 2443
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Age Retro Hippies
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: May 2443
Description[?]:
| We propose this bill in order to reduce the tax receipts necessary to fuel our government spending. These spending cuts are designed in a way to allow more freedom to individual Talmorians, while also allow us to gain the budget surplus we desperately need. While we feel that actively pursuing illegal immigrants places a burden on the government and citizens, deporting anyone found to not be a citizen or having the proper visitor status must be deported in order to conserve resources for true citizens. This proposal also increases the retirement age, making any burden of a subsidized retirement system more bearable on our budget. |
