Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4222
Description[?]:
Hereby the minister of finance of the federal republic of Dorvik Joachim Diederich presents his budget proposal for the upcoming term. The sectors that will be cut: Internal Affairs: Salary's of high ranking officials withing the police force and secret service will be decreased. The police force will be pressured to use more efficient methods to save funding and around 2.000 administrative workers will be fired because of the continuation of automated administrative systems being improved daily. Science & Technology: Some archeological projects will be cancelled and around 20 high density labs will be closed. around 500 scientists will be fired. Environment & Tourism: The government will stop subsidising hotels,clubs and tourist attraction that earn above 800.000 DDO a year. The tax on flying by means of a plane will be increased by 3%. the remaining 50.000.000 will be cut in the funding of airports and harbors (with the exeption of the harbor in miktar) this is because the harbour of Miktar is in financial trouble and needs government funding to stay open. Sectors that will get a budget increase: Health and Social Services: some 4 new major hospitals will be build in areas where medical care still lacks. The remaining 200.000.000 will be used to fund a healthcare project that will lower the costs of general medicine so it may be available to even the poorest of citizens. I hope i have hereby clarified my intentions with this budget and i am happy to answer all questions coming from the assembly. Joachim Diederich, Minister of Finance of the Bundesrepublik Dorvik |

Message | Federal Minister, We do not see those steps as sufficient to fight with over-taxation, this will in fact lead to increase of over-taxation more and will deteriorate the relation on the line Citizen - the State even more. We need a decided reform to minimize the surplus which is as much dangerous, or maybe even more dangerous than the deficit. Currently we have ap. 14 billion dolgars. 14 bilion!!! Those money are wasted because bunch of old idiots run the country without aaaanyyy clue how to do so. Suzanne Heikler, President of the HDU. |

Date | 15:40:20, June 05, 2017 CET | From | Arbeiterpartei (A) | To | Debating the Minister of Finance budget proposal of 4221 |
Message | President, We in the Arbeiterpartei are stong suporters of "Tax and spend", and right now we have the tax part of it in a good place, now we just need to spend it in a way that benefits the country. So naturally we would like to see a balance between the two, and therfore wish for a bolder increase in budget spending. Is it the finance ministers intention to lower the taxes? Or is there another reason for keeping the budget surplus? Wilhelm Haas Chairman of A |

Message | President, We are currently working on a tax decrease for both the poor and the rich to close the gap between the spending and earning of the state. There is a danger in spending to much. thats why we will now only spend 200.000.000 more than the previous budget to improve healthcare and we will reveal our low taxation plan in the coming days. Joachim Diederich, Minister of Finance of the Bundesrepublik Dorvik |

Message | President, What an idiotic move from the SDA... they've just voted for an increase in income taxes. Your goal is to close the gap by increasing the governmental expenditure... SDA have just voted in favor of increase in taxes which passed through our legislation... now they say they want to decrease taxes... for crying out loud... you are just like those incompetents from Dorvish Conservative Fraction... thank god you remain as them only a fraction...

Message | President, All ive done? i remember the tone of miss Heikler president and that tone came from a party called the KU. Contantly complaining about incompetence while they themselves are coming with the worst proposals of all. What have i done to show incompetence? My first act was this bill and i wanted to make it somewhat similiar to the current budget. Nothing is wrong with a little restraint miss Heikler. What are the otherv actions that show incompetence? I have not yet had other actions president so i honestly dont know what miss Heikler is talking about. Joachim Diederich, Minister of Finance of the Bundesrepublik Dorvik |

Message | Mr. Diedrich, You and your arty voted in favor of income tax increase proposed by the HDU. That bill passed and gave the federal government the surplus of 14 billion dollgars. And suddenly instead of proposing a budget which would use those 14 billion, 14 BILLION dollgars, you proposed a cut in the budget. Pathetic and Incompetent. You are probably on of the worst minister of finance ever. For over a year now this surplus grew to about 18 billion dolgars. THIEVES, ROBBERS and CRIMINALS... that's who you are. 18 BILLION DOLLGARS of unused taxpayers money. You steal money from people and give them nothing back. DIEDRICH MUST GO! Suzanne Heikler, President of the HDU. |
Date | 17:34:00, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Vereinigte Bewegung der Regionen | To | Debating the Minister of Finance budget proposal of 4221 |
Message | Mrs President, Mrs Heikler's outburst is indeed comparable with those of the former KU and DSP. It's quite ironic that HDU's own budget proposal means more spending of the Government in stead of returning any surplus to the taxpayers. Accordinv to Frau Heikler's own defenition that means eh....robbery, a criminal offence or theft? [laughter from the VBR benches] Franz Duschlar Spokesman for Finance |
Date | 17:39:54, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Grüne Demokratische Partei | To | Debating the Minister of Finance budget proposal of 4221 |
Message | Mrs Heikler, This is your first warning. Ester Christmann President of the Federal Assembly |
Date | 17:47:51, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Hosianich Demokratische Union | To | Debating the Minister of Finance budget proposal of 4221 |
Message | Mr. Duschlar, If you are so... "well educated" that you think that people in their homes actually fell the surplus.... then you are as "well" educated in economy as Federal Minister of Finance Diedrich. What our citizen need is a stable, reasonable and firm government not a bunch of "politics" who care just about the surplus. Yes, you steal those money from people. You sir, bare the same amount of responsibility as just about anyone in the current administration. You steal 18 billion dolgars from our citizens and refuse to invest in their future, in the future of our country. 18 billion dolgars, those money could be used to establish over 150 new hospitals, over 2,500 new educational facilities and over 18.000 kilometers of new roads. But you thieves are refusing to do so. Just about everything. Robbery, Criminal Offense and a theft for which you should all be held accountable. As I said earlier, DIEDRICH MUST GO! Suzanne Heikler, President of the HDU. |

Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
