Bill: Income Tax Reform, 3680 - 12th Presidium
Details
Submitted by[?]: Great National Republican Guard
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change income taxes. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3680
Description[?]:
| The changes made, by the PPFD-led coalition, resulted in chaos. We are simply reverting those changes. We do not care whether the right-wing parties support this bill or not. We do not care about the stance of the PPFD, the Federalist Party, or the Conservative Alliance. The Conservative Alliance has no seats in this chamber, and the other 2 parties ignored all questions directed to them when they were in control of the government. They still haven't told us their aims, and whether they were satisfied with the results of the changes that they had made. |
