Voting deadline: April 2527
Description[?]:
| The rich are becoming richer, and the poor are becoming poorer. Even though the governments of the world try to find a way to stop this process, it is becoming all too obvious that such is impossible. This bill is dedicated to nationalizing parts of the economy, to help it grow and expand. This includes taking over some of the most important companies that are needed for the general well being of the people, companies such as those that provide energy to homes, or even provide water, would become government owned, as well as any Arms Manufacturing Companies. The second issue is that of trade unions. These are very important organizations that give happiness to our workers by giving them a feeling of unity, and this act will make it mandatory for a worker to be in a trade union. |
