Description[?]:
| This bill serves to begin the re-liberalization of the economic structures and laws of this nation, to provide for the people better economic freedom to conduct business how they see fit, and not be required to conduct business solely as the government sees fit to tell them to. This bill will eliminate the over-bearing taxes on our already crippled corporations across Sekouo. This bill will remove the government monopoly of control over the stock exchanges and leave the fate of them to the people themselves. This bill will bring an end to the government enforced monopolies of this current government. This bill will further liberalize our governments laws on the matter of profit-sharing. This bill will remove us from treaties that restrict our legislature from ensuring the people's economic freedom. This bill will make the requirement to cover basic payroll contributions for enterprises a matter for local governments. This bill will allow full freedom of investment into our nations national industries by foreign investors. This bill will remove the excess of nationally owned central banks reducing it to one, and furthermore privatize all other banks in the nation. This bill will serve to end government control over certain industries and only allow nationalization of said industries as a last resort if said industries produce a vital good or service to the people. This bill will give control over energy provision back to local governments so they and their people can better decide how to handle their own energy provision and not be held to the will of nationalized monopolies of the national government. This bill will reestablish the right to bear arms which our party enacted all those years ago and allow the purchasing of firearms to the people of this nation so that they may protect themselves. The right to protect ones home and family shouldn't be a privilege for the wealthy and political elites. |
