Description[?]:
| The Alorian Freedom Party propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Republic of Aloria. "With this flat tax, 2/3 of all workers is out of the income tax system completely*. I think that all parties win with this. The lower-paid workers doesn't need to pay taxes and the wealthiest will pay 31% in taxes, which is high, but not so much higher than it is today. *If the tax rate start at 0 ALO, the state get 162 500 000 000 ALO. With this proposal, where you have to start paying taxes after 5650 ALO, the state get 65 000 000 000 ALO" Susi von Engelbrecht, AFP Finance |

| Message | We will not accept this bill and will oppose it with any chance we get! Everyone should pay taxes. The wealthy have worked for their pay! Why should they be the only ones taxed? Why? To support those who do not want to acheive? |

All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
