Bill: October Resolution of 2148

Details

Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Kafuristan

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: June 2149

Description[?]:

1. "To refuse political equality is to rob the ostracized of all self-respect."

2. "If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin."

3. "There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed."

4. "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone."

5. "Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery."

6. "We're the first society in history with the option of living in a world without poverty. The fact poverty still exist says more about our political leaders than I can."

7. "Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

MessageUnfortunately, the essential goods tax cannot cede to -100%.

That would be a great leap if the government would pay entirely for essential goods.

MessageNo, because that would ruin us. EVERYONE would freeload off the government, taking more than they need and more than we could afford.

MessageYes, but hopefully people will be able to vote directly on every national issue.

Can anyone else think of any necessary expenses that I have left out of government responsibility?

MessageNone, though I'd split this into two sections. I may vote yes on some if it means Free Public and expensive Private.

MessageWe should really increase the police funding to keep such acts of violence from occuring again.

And ban religion. I'm sure those people were religious.
