Description[?]:
| A bill eliminating restrictions on wages paid to laborers by employers in the Commonwealth of Rutania. SECTION I - The Commonwealth of Rutania protects the rights of laborers to collectively and individually bargain with employers and potential employers. In a market where laborers have ready access to the tools needed in order to provide for a fair and just wage, the current governmental interference in the labor market serves no purpose but to remove incentives for wider employment and to risk unnecessarily inflated prices on goods and services. In the interests of promoting economic health and liberating employment choice among the laborers of Rutania, it is resolved to eliminate government interference with the price of labor. |

| Message | We support the logical and intelligent argument presented by the SP. We were at first skeptical, but now see the merits of the current policy are outweighed by its core fallacy as intervention. |
