Bill: Réforme de la Taxe de Vente (Sales Tax Reform) de 2470
Details
Submitted by[?]: Front Nationaliste Royaliste
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: December 2470
Description[?]:
| Given that we presently have a national surplus of 25,554,375,510 RCR, and that the present tax rates were engineered decades ago for a very different economy that has thankfully grown due to the capitalist economic policies that have survived, we propose that the flat sales tax be cut accordingly. This is a fairer and more economically sensible proposal than the one presently being voted on that was proposed by the POR. |

| Message | We agree with article 2, but if the other tax bill passes wouldn't article 1 actually be raising taxes? Regardless we support this measure. |
