Bill: No Taxation towards Recognized Religious Income
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Green Party
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: April 4009
Description[?]:
| The Liberal Green Party believes that all recognized religious income should not be taxed. Taxing this income takes money away from what religious institutions strive to do, which is help and care for those less fortunate. Taking away money, due to taxes, hurts the less fortunate that the religious institutions care for. By taking away the tax, more money can be used to aid those in need. |
