Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: March 3721
Description[?]:
The Grand Consul has failed to provide ANY "subsidy" to the poorest in our society, despite repeated claims that this government and other Liberal led administrations would introduce such schemes. Now we have cuts to our underfunded Health Services. The poor in our society can't afford private health care, but do the liberal elites care? Of course not! We've had cuts to our underfunded Infrastructure and Transport system. How are the poor in our society going to afford to get to work and to job interviews, but do the liberal elites care? Of course not! And we've had substantial cuts to Defence and Trade and Industry budgets. The thousands of people let go because of these cuts are now living on the bread line, but do the liberal elites care? Of course not! The people of Beluzia are fed up with tax cuts for the rich to buy yachts while the poor are pounded. Disgrace and shame on this government and Beluzia can do better than this! The other bill was a mistake, was meant to be an increase on luxury goods not corporation tax. |
