Bill: Ending the legalised mafia
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hobrazian Improvement Party
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: October 2330
Description[?]:
| For many years Hobrazia has allowed evil corporations owned by foreign devils to thrive, treating our Hobrazian sons and daughters as little more than livestock to feed their nefarious greed and vile habits. In good conscience, this cannot be allowed to continue. Therefore, we propose the following... 1. The Hobrazian government shall take control of the commanding heights of industry, including all corporations. 2. Corporate tax shall be set to 100% of profits, as all corporations will now be owned by the State. Simply putting this bill to vote will cause a huge decrease in investment in our companies. Investers will sell all shares as soon as they can, and companies like the First Corporation are likely to be bankrupted. If this bill does not pass, we shall be financially crippled. Therefore voting 'no' makes you a traitor and a bad Hobrazian. |

| Message | I don't think so. If this bill does not pass, we'll be in the same position we're in now. An ever growing economy and ever improving public services. I wouldn't say that's too bad a position to be in. |
