Bill: Turgot Bill, Third
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partie Traditionnelle de Monarchiste
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: June 2456
Description[?]:
| Again, we propose this bill for consideration. Hopefully prudence and love of liberty will overcome past adversity to this bill propagated by communists, socialists, and other tyrannical leftists. "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." |
