Bill: Addressing Societal Issues Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Alliance of Social Democrats
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: July 2788
Description[?]:
| An act to address societal issues that are plaguing the structure of family and the well-being of our citizens. 1. While it would be radical procedure to legalize child labour in its entirety, the party believes that adding regulations that will provide protections for the child is a step in the right direction. As we all know, children are not as physically or emotionally capable as adults. 2. Without a minimum wage, and with no tax on corporations, we are allowing businesses to dominate the market and disregard their employees. By creating a minimum wage, the poor may be able to afford living within our country. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, While we would be sympathetic to article one, article two is unnecessary in Luthori. The poor are fine and CAN afford living in Luthori. I yield. |
