Bill: Religious Taxation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Disdainist PSWP
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: September 2527
Description[?]:
| We must extend taxation to all religious activity. Doing so will prevent them from offering goods and services that would undermine our nation's revolutionary goals. We must also end the payment of ministers, as the income they recieve will create an income gap. We will be stuck under the slavery of theocracy! Do not fear the religious, they shall bow to the Revolution! |
