Description[?]:
| The Patriotic Socialist Party propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Federal Republic of Mordusia. We proposing to increase the amount people can earning across the board by 5,000 MRD. We believe with the current budget surplus we can afford to lift more people out of tax and improve consumption and growth. This proposal will mean anyone earning under 30,000 MRD will be exempt from paying tax at all. We ask the house to support this measure. |
