Details
Submitted by[?]: Nationale Demokratische Partei
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: January 4411
Description[?]:
| This bill is designed to increase the freedom, prosperity, and liberty of the people through introducing several new ideas into the economy and other aspects of life. The economy is driven by the people, and the people are driven by their desire for personal gain. A person should be able to work for his or own personal gain. Increased freedom in the economy would also increase personal freedom as people would be able to work in order to make their own money. A free economy is also a competitive and growing economy, which would lead to increased income for the government through taxation. This bill appeals to both the right-wing capitalists, as well as the left-wing socialists who are interested in increasing personal freedoms. |
