Bill: The Retirement Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Chinkopodian Economic Democrats
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: February 2047
Description[?]:
| Noting that our now-large population of 42,336,714 is the third largest populartion in the world and represents 1/20 of the whole world's population, this party believes that with the now larger number of OAPs living off pensions, like it or not, the country will soon not be able to keep up with the economic demands of the numerus tax breaks given. (especially when the economy is installed). Therefore this party proposes that the professional retirement age be raised by 5 years to combat this (for those recieving tax breaks - people can opt out of them for 5 years and still retire if wanted) |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The professional retirement age.
Old value:: 60
Current: 65

| Message | Good idea. A compulsory superannuation scheme should be introduced to deal with the costs of the 'ageing population'. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
