Bill: Freedom From Welfare
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
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: May 2741
Description[?]:
| Welfare payments are a drag on the economy. They encourage the laziness propounded by Marx's words: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." A policy of free money is neither just nor beneficial for the whole of society. The smaller the government is, the more employment we will have. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
