Bill: Minimum Income Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalizt Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: April 2128
Description[?]:
| As the actual policy on minimum incomes states that all adults not supported by another person shall be guaranteed a very basic subsistence income by the government with indefinite time, we think it is just not fair for the working society and pernicious for the benefited people, as this just keeps them from taking a work. We therefore ask not to guarantee any form of subsistence income. |

Old value:: All adults not supported by another person shall be guaranteed a very basic subsistence income by the government.
Current: All adults not supported by another person shall be guaranteed a reasonable, though not high, standard of living by the government.
