Bill: FairTax Act of January 2638

Details

Submitted by[?]: Spenocratic Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This bill proposes to change income taxes. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: September 2638

Description[?]:

The Spenocratic Party propose to adjust the government's tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Ascendant Union Of Greater Likatonia.

The Federal government has no right to ask how much you make and even less right to take a large fraction of it.

Let us abolish all forms of income tax and replace it with sales tax. This way, you can save up money for important things without the government touching it.

MessageDoing this would only create a black market for goods and services, one that would not cost 30% more than anything else. This opens the doors to criminals and the like, and severely hurts those who are impoverished and must borrow to make ends meet.

This also impedes consumption, hurting our economy. It does, however encourage saving, but at what cost?

We cannot support this bill, perhaps sometime in the future we may, but at the moment this is not what is best for Likatonia.
