Bill: Increased Revenue Act 2154
Details
Submitted by[?]: Jelbanian Federalist Party
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: February 2156
Description[?]:
| In order to increase revenue, it would be a good idea to create a tax on essential items, slighty increase the tax on corporate profits, maintain the current tax on luxury items. This in return makes our citizens feel safe in our economy, thus boosting economic activity. There also should be a tariff system in place of all imports. This of course could increase trade revenue. With the current increase in minimum wages, it should balance out. |
