The Taxation Reform

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: FlagPrestiteria


Description: NOTING that tax is unfair for the the poor and is too less for the rich who have the most money to pay their taxes.

SUGGESTING anyone who has an annual income of 60,000 US Dollars or less should have a 2% tax decrease.

SUGGESTING anyone who has an annual income of 200,000 US Dollars or more should have a 3.6% tax increase.

ANNOUNCING that taxing the rich more would bring in more revenue from those who can pay their taxes on time and in full.

ANNOUNCING that taxing the poor would bring in less revenue because they may not be able to pay their taxes in full and on time.

FURTHERING the growth of the poor to give them the ability to live a better life.

FURTHERING the growth of banks from poor being able to pay off loans with their new found wealth stimulating the economy.

Just testing out my knowledge of what is illegal - I believe that includes wrong category (Furtherment of democracy for an economic 'reform'), basing an argument on real world things (US dollars), failing to have any active clause in the resolution (furthering the growth of the poor? Further than what? How?), and possibly attempting to set a world tax rate (although it was just a suggestion...)

And writing illegible sentences ( is too less for the rich?)

You are correct, except for the last bit. There isn't a spot where there is an attempt to set a world tax rate. However: Tax decraces and Tax increases are still Game mechanics violations.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

US Dollars are itself RL references, thereby making the proposal violate Real life reference rules. Also, it is not possible to have fixed tax rate changes as they are already built in to the categories where appropriate.

Economic Equality
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.


Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Rustika

Description: UNDERSTANDING- That a lower class workers survival is on his wage, and that if he is fired he will go through periods of hardships attempting possibly not even getting a new job. Realizing that a lower class citizen holds up the country.
DEMANDING-
1-That the minimum wage is to be increased by 50% to hold up for a workers needs. If a minimum wage does not exist then a one must be introduced. And seeing as they didn't already have one, the minimum wage must be the average for their entire region, or if not it must be a set amount that is to be agreed on.
3-That mechanization is to be legal as long, as long as it does not affect a worker by cutting his salary, replacing him, affecting his health etc.
4- That the corporation pay full wage to a female worker in labour and pregnancy. If the corporation is unable to pay this, then the corporation is to fill out a pamphlet listing all the companies assets, income and loans, the company also lists all the spending, so as the government can loan them money to pay the maternity leave. A group under government pay check will supervise companies to see that the assets and spending are valid. If the corporation cannot pay back the loan, the government will take 25% percent of the corporations earnings after the workers are payed until the loan is payed back.
5-All workers must be in safe conditions and if they aren't the workers health (if they agree to be in dangerous conditions) is the corporation's responsibility. If a worker gets injured under corporation responsibility the worker has grounds to sue. But the corporation may set a super visor that the worker must live with, to make sure that the worker/s don't purposely hurt them selves to sue.
6-At least 2 employes performing manual labour must be promoted a year.

maybe not illegal per se, but a bit too much with the micromanaging. Far too much. We are guessing they have never heard the economic theory that "if you raise everybodies wages by 50%, the cost of everything will increase by at least that as the cost of production, manufacture, shipping and retailing will rise along with the incresed wages."

Micromanage. one size fits all.
