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. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
