Bill: JCL Budget proposal of September 2521
Details
Submitted by[?]: Jakanian Imperial Party
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: May 2523
Description[?]:
The Jakanian Conservative League propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the United Jakania. Might seem excessive but with the changes in the income tax and other taxes, the new budget should continue to have a surplus. But then again, your views and comments |

Message | Over all the JSP supports this budget change. OOC: just to know what (other than the deltarian border thing) is the social and economic situation in jakania |
Date | 15:57:35, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | I think that finding that out is probably the hardest thing to look for. I'll try to look for something... With the new income tax reform, we should be able to afford this. |
Date | 21:25:14, January 25, 2008 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | I'll support this, if we have a surplus stil |
Date | 22:32:53, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | Well, the income tax reform alone produces a little over $221 billion JAK. The current taxes as they stand... Total Income Tax: a little over $87 billion JAK Corporation Tax at 9%: about $ 24.2 billion JAK No Essential Goods Tax Luxury Taxes: $ 122.4 billion JAK Total Revenue: $ 233 billion JAK So really, our proposed budget is way bigger, but a surplus exists anyways, but much smaller. Under of proposed increases: Income Tax Revenue will increase from $ 87 billion to around $221 billion (we will probably peg the tax percentages on a lower scale) Corp. Tax - 1% increase Essential Goods Tax - 3% (will eliminate due to the recent findings) Luxury Tax- 2% increase from 7% to 9% |
Date | 22:34:24, January 25, 2008 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | So our estimates of the new revenue would be in the neighborhood of $250 billion to $280 billion JAK. That largely depends on how the essential goods tax revenue would produce. |
Date | 03:50:08, January 27, 2008 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | Then, we can support these. Are you going to vote on them? |
Date | 15:24:31, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Sahabahs Muslim Socialist Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | Why the defence has a budget more important than Infrastructure and Transport, Health and Social Services, Education and Culture, Science and Technology, Food and Agriculture, Environment and Tourism, Trade and Industry together ? It's a shame ! Allah ouakbar! Brother Ouahib Al Sahih for the social concil of the SMSP. |
Date | 17:30:25, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Secularist Socialist Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | the JSP agree with the high defence budget due to the tensions with deltaria. |
Date | 18:46:47, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | We wouldn't have such a damn high defense budget without reasons. All legit and (help me here UDJ, JSP, UJDP, and SLP). 1) We live in one the most dangerous regions in the world of Terra due to our northern neighboring nation of Deltaria. 2) Deltarians have a history of vicious violence against themselves and others. 3) They are willing to use nukes if necessary to achieve a victory in any war. They are the only nation in Terra to ever use a nuclear weapon, and it was in a civil war. OOC: 4) Don't try negotiations, if you check the forums, they murder or kidnap all visiting delegates IC: 5) They actually took over Jakania in 2321 and ruled it as a Deltarian add-on until 2352, trust me, its in the records and the history books 6) We actually have a Deltarian party in Jakania now called Deltarsko Národná Strana, do you know their party description is? I'll tell ya: "The Deltarsko Národná Strana are a group of ethnic Deltarian's, who trace their ancestory back to the Deltarian occupation of Jakania. Rather than accepting Jakanian political sovereignity, the DNS seek reunion with the Deltarian motherland, and have a passionate, sometimes violent, disdain for native Jakanian's." That is the mindset of the normal Deltarian towards us. That is why we have such a large Defense budget. |
Date | 18:49:30, January 27, 2008 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | Yes, we really need the high Defence budget. In real life, or in game here, I would never support such a large military budget. But Deltaria is evil, plain and simple. They hate us, they are crazy, and they still think that we are a part of them. We need the budget if we are to ever stand a chance against those crazies |
Date | 19:01:58, January 27, 2008 CET | From | Jakanian Imperial Party | To | Debating the JCL Budget proposal of September 2521 |
Message | We are with the UDJ, we would not support such a high defense budget, but Jakania is unique among the nations of Terra with a ruthless evil neighbor. Yes, they still do think we are part of Deltaria. They never recognized the new government that formed the second Jakanian Republic in the 2360's or was that 2370's |

Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
