Bill: On Welfare, Infrastructure, and Foreign Relations
Details
Submitted by[?]: Guds og Konges Kjemprene
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: March 2342
Description[?]:
| Ad 1: Even a relatively good income is in most cases very few for a household with many choldren. Ad 2&3: Private companies generally work better than public ones. Ad 4: If our citizens want to give aid, they shall do it through NGO's. Actually, I also could live without giving any money to other countries. Ad 5: A basic Adam Smith thing, which KSP couldn't understand. Tariffs on imports not only allows companies that are not as good as the foreign one exist, they also force our people to pay more for goods or services they could get cheaper, and they won't let our money to get to foreign companies and thus making it more interesting to invest in our country. Ad 6: I just don't see a reason why we should support nuclear power more than other kinds of energy. Ad 7: Same as 2 and 3 |

| Message | Idon't agree to article 5. You're right mainly, but you forget that our companies wil fail to make profit and therefore they'll colapse. And if or companies collapse, out citizens wil no longer have a workplace. I don't know if this option exists in the game but i think we should keep low taxes for the goods and services our companies also produce. |

| Message | The problem is, that we only delay their collapse. Sooner or later, firms in our country will develop that do their job better, and then the collapse will be even worse, because until this time the government would have to pump money into the old insustries, so they will hire more people who will lose their jobs then, and also by doing so, they will take resources away that could be used better somewhere else. |

| Message | But we can decide on that later, so now I remove article 5. |
