| Message | In the case that the other spouse is unemployed, then my parties belief is that the person should go out and find a job. We should not be funding the unambitious. People who can work should work. We should not be encouraging unemployment which is what this bill is doing. |
| Date | 18:20:11, February 29, 2016 CET | From | Kushite Revolution | To | Debating the Raising Our Economy |
| Message | This bill sets to reduce the income inequalities that exist in the employment sector in this country. Poverty levels in the country vary between 20.78% in Muzalkaz to 31.7% in Stormereti. Raising the wages for the common man will boost this and reduce the poverty levels in our country from the current average 28.3% to a lower value. On the other hand this will increase the country's GDP therefore boosting the economy that is at a current HCR 2.2 trillion. |
