Bill: Private Property Protection Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Mordusian Union of Liberty
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: June 3158
Description[?]:
| All liberty ultimately derives from the defence of the sanctity of property. The land, assets, and general belongings of the individual are his livelihood and the fruits of his labour. From the wealthiest to the most destitute, all have earned certain treasures which they would die before parting with. However, when the state decides that this property would be better used by others, it will take them. Most call this "theft", the state chooses to refer to it as "eminent domain." It is a kleptocratic and morally bankrupt policy which must be repealed. |
