| Message | Unfortunatly it appears that Wouter accidentally reset the economic data for Particracy. As a result, the income tax bands etc. were reset. I have reproposed the system that we approved lat time however when the data was reset it also means that are exisitng tax revenue is much less than it was, therefore this tax proposal can only be viable if cuts in spending (now possible) are made. Therefore do we keep this one or do we come up with a new one. I would say that we keep this one and cut public spending in those areas which are privatised. but obviously those of you who dislike privatisation may have other ideas. |
