Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalizt 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: December 2197
Description[?]:
| Nationalised Defense Industries ought to be banned, and private ones shall receive no benefits nor regulation whatsoever. Let private companies raise competition even in weapons production, anything's good for profit. And there's no need of playing with taxpayers' money for such a secondary - in peacetime - subject as defense budget. Furthermore, private defense industries could be even more productive than State ones; there's no point to keep a service others could do better. We're not banning military. We're just lightening the State burden where it is not strictly necessary to keep an expense. Of course we can always nationalize or regulate them in exceptional cases like war. But how happy are citizens knowing some of their money they pour in the hungry State pockets ends in bombs and guns? How and when do they benefit of this? When war comes. Leave this to private sector. Make weapons a profitable source. |
