Details

Voting deadline: July 2449
Description[?]:
| The Unified National Party propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the United Majatran Republic of Socialist Al'Badara. Right now our Tax policy appears disorganized and confusing. This new proposal aims to create a system which is both easier to understand, fairer(The poor pay significantly less tax, whilst the richest pay slightly more) and brings in a little more money than our past taxation system did to boot. |
