Bill: Free Market Act - Phone Services
Details
Submitted by[?]: Partisans And Artisans League
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: November 2210
Description[?]:
| The government is providing a service that could easily be provided by private companies in a sensible and unextortionate manner using the brutal justice of the free market economy. The current system also unfairly discriminates against those who choose to live without a phone and yet pay a large amount in taxes for. Everything costs. Our current system isn't free of charge - it is paid for - like everything else in this society - by the people who have actually done something with their lives. The citizens of Beluzia who are deemed to be not very well off should start to accept a life that is not a bed of roses and pay for the things that they could live without. |
