Bill: Protecting our economy act - CPT
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Party of Telamon
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: July 3267
Description[?]:
In order to protect our own products against false competition from foreign low-wage and low-rights countries we believe we should enforce tarrifs. If not, this could create problems for our business and as such for our working class, who's position would be jeopardized and put further into the fringe as a result of the current legislation. |
Proposals

Old value:: The nation imposes reciprocal tariffs on imports, with no tariffs imposed on states which impose no tariffs on our exports.
Current: The nation allows for imports, but imposes tariffs and quotas in certain areas.
Proposed: The nation allows for imports, but imposes protectionist tariffs and quotas on all imports.

Message | Mr. Speaker, Protectionism is not the way forward. As well as being economically inefficient, protectionism hinders poorer nations from growing their economies by exporting goods and services abroad. Leroy Adams (Chairman of the CPU) |
