Bill: Welfare reform act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Sháhazi Péashro
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: September 3400
Description[?]:
| We Lionist Crusaders reaffirm our belief in social responsibility, though we admit that we have taken this to far in the past, when we considered ourselves market socialists. A good nationalist and compassionate conservative way to gain both societal stability and social responsibility while still benefiting from the advantages of the free market system is to work together with the corporations, the private entrepreneurs, to ensure that the customers of welfare services get the very best service they can get. We are therefore proposing a range of stability-friendly free market reforms that will ensure that a combo of liberty and security is maintained for both cats and humans, and opens up the system for a large range of both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. Cats help each others like businessmen, not bureaucrats. |
