Description[?]:
| The Alorian Populist Party (PrCoa) propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Democratic Republic of Aloria. The current system was too regressive. THis will change that while stimulating the economy. Admitingly, this will bring about a deficit, but because of the return of the recession, its needed for the short term. Eventually, will raise taxes on the higher brackets to pay this down, but as of right now, it would be unwise to raise taxes. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
