Bill: Economical Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal Movement for Revolution
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: January 3119
Description[?]:
| It is in the Liberal Movement's belief that an economical reform is required, a move towards a liberal economy. We believe the tax rate of corporations must be lowered to allow them the ability of providing high quality goods for low prices to our people. While the tax reform a) may not be enough for the desired goal or b) too much for our economy to handle; a) When the success of the reform is proven, an even lower tax rate will be achieved. b) We believe our people can afford paying for their own telephone lines, at least in majority, and thus we can support the economy by taking away the free telephone services. We will be open to discuss this bill. |

| Message | We would vote in favour of Artt. 2 and 3; we cannot, however, support Article 1 as we are already running a staggering deficit at 800 billion LIS. We are in favour of moderate tax cuts, but we must first reduce national expenses dramatically before considering such moves. |
| Date | 21:53:52, May 09, 2011 CET | From | Liberal Movement for Revolution | To | Debating the Economical Reform |
| Message | While we share Avanti Istalia's concern for our economy, we believe tax cuts will allow us to move towards a smaller government, and thus spare us the deficit. We'd like it to be noted that this is the -first step- of economical reforms. Cuts in military are required too. While we get smaller, we can pay the expenses with loans. |
| Date | 23:43:42, May 09, 2011 CET | From | Quanzar Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Economical Reform |
| Message | We also can support Act 2 and 3. However agree with Avanti Istalia concerning tax cuts. |
