Bill: Economic Liberalisation Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: National Liberal Alliance

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: May 4002

Description[?]:

Mr Speaker,

Our great economy can only become even greater by encouraging not penalising and over-regulating the wealth creating class. This would be only the first step towards an economy where we could lowering the insanely high taxes and adopt simpler flatter models of taxation.

ToDebating the Economic Liberalisation Act
MessageMr. Speaker,

looking at our economy, I can say that nothing is wrong with it. At this stage, our financial-economic model is stable. We fear a destabilization of this model by accepting the proposed tax shift.
Secondly, we feel no need to subsidize enterprises in need. That could send out the wrong message. We are not against helping enterprises in trouble, but we feel there is another way to do so.

MessageMr Speaker,

We reject this insinuation that cutting the corporation tax could somehow 'destabilise' the economy, unless the Spokesman considers the resulting increased growth and competitiveness to be 'instability'. We also strongly doubt that any private enterprises would risk placing themselves through the legal pains of insolvency merely to receive government aid. If the NWL is willing to fund refugees, why shouldn't it rescue the jobs of real Lodamese people when their jobs are at stake? It's not a perfect system but it's better, in our view, to have a largely free enterprise economy backed up to a limited extent, by government guarantees to support it in times of economic slowdown.

MessageMr. Speaker,

we are not against the lowering of corporation taxes. We just believe that the change is a very big one. If we could be given a model of what the effects would be, we might understand Mr. Hinn's proposition.

ToDebating the Economic Liberalisation Act
MessageMr. Speaker,

My party is firmly against lowering Corporation Tax. Maintaining it at 50% prevents the private sector from having too much control. We are content with the current setup of the economy, and we must say that this bill is absolute bullshit.

It proposes a single article which is intended to change the entire structure of the economy through shock therapy. We cannot rush from having the state owning the commanding heights of the economy to the state having a minor role in the economy. If my party was going to support liberalisation of the economy, it would need to be graul and realistic. We would need to change to a system where "Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership" then to something else more liberal.

However, we are not in favour of 'economic liberalisation' at the moment. The bill refers to "the wealth creating class" but fails to recognise that it is the working class which creates wealth. The bourgeoisie are leeches. The NLA had the audacity to call Jim Clover a leech, but it is the bourgeoisie who benefit from the hard labour of the proletariat who are the true leeches. Lodamun will not return to free market Capitalism. The workers are in control of the economy now.

ToDebating the Economic Liberalisation Act
MessageMr Speaker,

Once again, we marvel at the economic illiteracy dominant in the Government and the legislature. The idea that handing over control of the economy to the people from the state is destabilising or so called 'shock therapy' is frankly to use the Minister's own cultured language, bullshit. Only the leeching state planners would be in for a shock as they would have to get real jobs not involving mis-allocation of economic resources and retarded central planning. The market would distribute capital and resources much more efficiently than the political dons and commissars ever could.

From Great National Republican Guard
ToDebating the Economic Liberalisation Act
MessageMr. Speaker,

The NLA does not want to hand "control of the economy to the people" - they want to hand control of the economy to a specific class. The economy, as it is now, is in the hands of the people, i.e. the hands of the workers and the masses.

Brian Hinn can accuse the government of "economic illiteracy" but empirical evidence shows otherwise. Lodamun is currently one of the top economies in the world, and other major economies and a large financial institution have expressed confidence in our economic model.

FromNational Liberal Alliance
ToDebating the Economic Liberalisation Act
MessageMr Speaker

The Finance Minister is a man who considers an economy with a 95% income tax top rate to be a 'pragmatic one'. That alone is proof of rank illitera cy. His view that the extreme left measures are responsible for our economic success are indicative of the arrogant bluff that red commissars are full of. It is not a testament to the success of the red sickel economy but rather the resilience of the Lodamese people who have prospered in an economically totalitarian climate.

As for the NLP we are a people's party and believe that everyone in a sense is a wealth creator. From the housewife supporting her local market with her purchases to the billionaire who owns half of Andalay. Overtaxing one hurts the other.
