Description[?]:
| Upon examining our budget and the budget of a neighboring nation,the Democratic Republic of Ikradon, I had noticed in their income taxes they have multiple brackets. I don't really know how to describe it so I will put a link so you can see it yourself. http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/budget.php?nationid=10 And I noticed that our government spends an absurd amount of money on defense compared to other expenditures. It is currently the largest expenditure by far. I also noticed that a lot of money, 300,000,000 Luthori pounds to be exact, flow directly to the Head of Government. Personally I think that is too much wealth for one person. I am thinking of proposing a bill to establish a better income tax policy and another changing government expenditures around. What do you think? What areas should be changed and how? WHO THINKS WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT NEW POLICIES. IF YOU ARE IN FAVOUR, VOTE YES, IF NOT VOTE NO. in caps to attract attention. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
