Bill: Socialist economy proposal of July 2479
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Workers' Party and CTUL List
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2480
Description[?]:
| The AM Democratic Workers' Party propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Axis Mundi Likatonian Res Publica. This budgetary amendment sees dramatic increase in most departments, and sees the Finance department receive an equal budget to Internal Affairs in order to help prevent another Depression. Investment in Trade and Industry has nearly doubled, again a measure to keep the economy out of the red. The only budget that has been cut is that of Justice, whose slight cut is of little significance, but allows for the increased spending in the Ministry of Defence. A healthy emergency reservoir of a little over 7,200,000,000 LIK has been set aside during the transition period of the new budget, in order to allow rapid action to act against any potential economic crises. |

| Message | We say let's use the Government surplus to ABOLISH the Corporate Tax that the Democratic WORKER Councils (DWCs) have to pay since they own ALL of the industries. Abolishing that tax will lead to more INVESTMENT thus creating more jobs and more revenue to spend on these projects. |
