Description[?]:
| This bill was rejected by an earlier parliament but with the dramatic shifts in seats, the Partie Traditionnelle de Monarchiste is proud to reintroduce the Turgot Bill. "For the strength and prosperity of the nation, we must provide freedom for our people to engage in commerce and all voluntary, mutually beneficial exchanges. Government involvement in the economy is a detriment to the welfare of the people and the nation as a whole. Only through liberty can the maximum wealth of the nation be achieved, and only through liberty can we have the most equitable distribution of this wealth among the deserving." |
