Bill: Fiscal Responsibility Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Whig Party
Status[?]: passed
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 4289
Description[?]:
| The government of the Commonwealth has a responsibility to the people to maintain the fiscal well-being of the Peoples elected government. This government passed tax cuts that it has yet to completely pay for despite making initial progress, it would be irresponsible for this government to pass the buck on this to the incoming government after the elections, I implore all our coalition partners to stand with us and vote responsibly for fiscal health by approving this 3% increase in the National Sales Tax. This small tax increase equates out to 13 cents on the Ruta but that small amount would provide much needed Revenue to the Federal coffers without taking the income of working Rutanians. --Prime Minister Royce Blood |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
