Bill: Corporate Tax
Details
Submitted by[?]: Condamné à être Libre
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 4071
Description[?]:
| High corporate taxes are silly. We can lower corporate taxes and bring up income taxes on high earning individuals. This makes it so that those who take home outsized corporate profits are taxes but not the corporations themselves, which is inefficient and will encourage corporations to move overseas. |

| Message | The government already enforces a salary cap! It's as strict as it can get, actually. We would like to pass this separately so we can get more visibility. |
