Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
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: September 3822
Description[?]:
| This comprehensive legislation stipulates that in terms of education policy, we want the good people of this great Commonwealth to be the SMARTEST, BRIGHTEST, and most INNOVATIVE citizens in the entire Terran universe. On the planet Earth, the United States might be the greatest political democracy, but the people are the DUMBEST when compared to the Chinese and Japanese. This is so b/c Oriental nations on that planet invest heavily in Education resources as a Fundamental Right. Therefore, this legislation revolutionarily renovates the FAILED public school system for an efficent Free-Market based approach that involves COMPETITION. It is only with competition that the price of education will fall while the QUALITY rises: (1) We suspend the management of Pre-schools to Local Governments; The Federal Gov't shouldn't be bogged down babysitting toddlers; (2) (a) For all local governments that take Federal Funding, this bill mandates that the local governments transfer all of the Public Schools to the Teachers' Union collectively so that they can have PRIVATE OWNERSHIP & CONTROL of the Land, Property, and Resources of the schools, thus managing them as their own private corporation paying corporate tax, income tax, etc. while working for a Profit Dividend rather than a miniscule wage; (c) Finally, the Federal Gov't fully (100%) subsidizes the cost of private Elementary & Secondary School tuition for the citizentry; Thank you for your full support!!! |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
