Bill: Free Trade (Ending of import tariffs)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty 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: January 2176
Description[?]:
| Imports are always in our nation's own interests. They are the raw materials and the tools that allow us to produce our goods, from we derive economic growth. When we reduce imports with tariffs, we may think we are hurting the other country, but really we are hurting ourselves. Economic success is the best revenge against countries who refuse to understand the value of free trade, and ending tariffs is one of the ways to maximise our economic success. |
