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: December 2118
Description[?]:
| We can't have people simply living off state benefits, as it will result in a constant draining of government funds by people who cannot be bothered to work. To avoid the lower income of those who are unable to get a job due to physical disabilities and suchlike, they will be presented with a higher income than those easily able to get a job. |
