Description[?]:
| The Telamon Social Democratic Party propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Telamon Commonwealth. This the TSDP believes to require lowering the taxes for those with a lower income. The lowering of taxes has been partially balanced by a moderate raise on the taxes of the wealthy (still keeping their overall level of taxation rather low). |
