Bill: Economic Reform March 4558
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会
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: August 4559
Description[?]:
| A Much needed overhaul of the Sekowon economy is needed. The Aloofness of neo-liberal Laize-Faire policy must come to an end. Foreign nationals cant hold majority shares in Sekowo companies! That is basically handing our economy to enemy forces without a bullet shot A set standard of working hours set by the government is needed. Local government cannot handle the task correctly. We propose a 9 percent tax on corporate tax Democratic Worker councils are tainted with the influences of communism. Even if communist worker councils are not active in the country, the state does not need them. To get an accurate depiction of our nation's demographics we must require all nationals to register their race and religion, or at the very least they should register their race. The nationalization of certain industries is a must if we are to move forward as a nation. Our arms industry should not be in the hands of people who think nothing of selling our weapons for the highest bidder and our utilities should not be in the hands of those who prey upon the poor. . |

| Date | 01:03:53, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Jiyū Party of Sekouo (自由党) | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | Our economy is in a stable strong position, do you wish to change that with your radical changes to the economy. Our government already runs a surplus. There is no reason for further taxation. |
| Date | 01:14:34, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | The Economy is only "strong" because we are at peace. In a time of crisis, we cannot rely on neo-liberal policies run a nation. Besides, why shouldn't Sekowon companies pay their dues to the state? A Zero percent tax rate only enriches the foreign corporations who run our fatherland. |
| Date | 03:06:08, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 立憲維新党 (Rikken Ishin-tō) | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | The Bank of Sekouo must remain politically independent to ensure its neutrality and integrity. Sekouo also maintains respect towards foreign nationals, who are welcome to help improve the state of the already-booming Sekouan economy. However, we would like to discuss a compromise that will allow the free nature of the economy while increasing the lifestyle of the common Sekouan workers. |
| Date | 04:24:52, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | Would the Rikken Ishin-tō agree that foreign nationals would still be respected if Article 7 was to be passed? Foreigners would still be allowed to invest in our companies but not outright own them. The economic fate of nations is still tied closely to the success of their domestically based corporations. No Sekowon owned companies, No Sekowo. |
| Date | 11:37:39, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | We would support the articles on advertising (though the standards we would support are obviously very different from those the KYS would), Unions (though we'd prefer Agency and Open shops), the increase in corporate tax, daily working hours, foreign investors and industrial subsidies. |
| Date | 16:27:38, April 10, 2019 CET | From | Kokuryū-shakai 黒龍社会 | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | The Kokuryū-shakai offers to lower the Corporate tax rate to 2 percent, as well as allow agency and opened shops to be legal. We also put forward the proposal that the government should act as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services. I hope the Kokkai can agree that leaving our most vital industries to fail would be bad for our most beloved economy. |
| Date | 23:51:41, April 10, 2019 CET | From | 立憲維新党 (Rikken Ishin-tō) | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
| Message | Yes, this is a bill we would be willing to support. |
| Date | 08:51:09, April 11, 2019 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Economic Reform March 4558 |
