Bill: Common-Sense Economic Reform (CSER) Phase 1
Details
Submitted by[?]: United for Progress and Advancement
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: January 5385
Description[?]:
| I believe there must be a balance between the market and the state. The state is a representative body capable of effectively exercising specific authority more than the people directly. One of the reasons, the United for Progress and Advancement opposes a full direct democracy. Here, I believe that airports are vital infrastructure where the state should have the power to operate certain airports, especially in the cities, and regulate the Best Practices for the Management of Airports to ensure accountability and quality checks of privately owned airports, especially when they are local airports. The same with airports, I also believe that some banks should be private. I support allowing some banks to be controlled by the community, however, I lean towards the support of interest prohibition on interest rates. I also think a central bank needs to be independent, separate from the central government. I believe corporate tax needs to be lowered while luxury tax needs to be raised. I believe crypto needs to be allowed but regulated. Farm size needs to be maintained and regulated to ensure that Baltusia won't be vulnerable into food security risks. I support a combination of compulsory public pension system and an optional private pension system. Lastly, I think waste management should be a responsibility for each community to manage, not the central government. I oppose having a centralized waste disposal center because it would facilitate irresponsible and ignorance of the waste management. I believe that 3Rs needs to be implemented in each household with a focus on reducing. |
