Bill: Individual Autonomy
Details
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: August 3396
Description[?]:
| The people can take care of themselves and each other through voluntary mutual aid at the local level, where the people are more attuned to the needs of their communities than any faceless State bureaucrat could ever be. State welfare only paves the way for totalitarian State power over the people's lives. |
