I'd like to propose The Government Responsibility Act of 2012:

1). Hold total state spending growth at inflation rate
2). Require 2/3 majority to pass any further tax increases
3). Require that all members of the legislature return all of their leftover campaign funds to the treasury at the beginning of each new session
4). Require a balanced budget each Fiscal Year

Also, I'd like to propose the following, more moderate bill:

The Fair Taxation Act of 2012, which will:

1) Eliminate income tax for all citizens of the northeast who make below $15,000/year
2) Require 2/3 majority in legislature to raise taxes on citizens with annual income below 3 times the poverty line

Is it okay if I submit the same bill with #12 removed?  Also, is this prohibiting the statewide banning or the banning of Blue Laws passed by individual communities?

You can amend that #12 be removed when it comes to the floor, but I would consider that amendment unfriendly and it would have to go to the floor for a vote.  My bill is intended to prohibit blue laws in all Northeastern communities.

For the future, please discuss upcoming legislation in the protest thread.  We are technically violating SOAP rules by discussing this here.

Because we still don't have a budget to consider, I'm just going to go ahead and propose my tax plan now.  I will halt my legislation and amend it to the budget instead if one comes up beforehand.

The Northeast Revenue Act of 2012

A BILL to implement a tax code into the 2012 budget

Section 1.) Corporate Tax rates shall be as follows

Corporate Taxes, Income
0%   $0 - $10,000
2%   $10,000 - $50,000
9%   $50,000 - $75,000
13%   $75,000 - $100,000
20%   $100,000 - $335,000
24%   $335,000 - $10,000,000
28%   $10,000,000 - $15,000,000
30%   $15,000,000 +

Section 2.) Income Tax rates shall be as follows

Income Taxes, Single Individual
0%   $0 - $9,500
9%   $9,501 - $35,000
15%   $35,001 - $80,000
19%   $80,001 - $170,000
23%   $170,001 - $367,700
25%   $367,701 - $1,000,000
28%   $1,000,001 - $2,500,000
30%   $2,500,001 +

Section 3.) All tax rates in this bill shall expire at the start of the next fiscal year.

If your income range is between $0 and $10,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 1%.
If your income range is between $10,000 and $20,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 2%.
If your income range is between $20,000 and $25,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 4%.
If your income range is between $25,000 and $35,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 6%.
If your income range is between $35,000 and $50,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 8%.
If your income range is between $50,000 and $1,000,000, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 9%.
If your income range is $1,000,001 and over, your tax rate on every dollar of income earned is 10%.

All rates indexed to inflation, so as to avoid the poor being forced into higher brackets in the future.  Reminding that this is in addition to federal taxation

Repeal of the Anti-Prohibition Act of 2012:

1) Complete decriminalization of all illegal drug substances
2) Repeal of gun control laws in the northeast
3) Complete legalization of prostitution

This bill goes way over the top.  Any society has the right to be protected against the abuse that would be generated as a result of the above completely irresponsible legislation.
