I have no issue with the first two, although with the Elections Crisis Act, wouldn't it be more apt for regional officials to have presendence over federal since we are filling regional offices?

I'm willing to consider an amendment to the following as friendly:



3.
A- Regional Senator
B- Any other Senators from the region in the Senate, starting with the member who received the most ballots on the first ballot of the election that placed him or her in the Senate.
C- Any person nominated by the Legislature within 72 hours of the activation of the act; with the time to vote yea or nay on that single person not included, so long as the time set aside to vote does not extend past 96 hours.
D - SoFE
E- The President, or anyone else authorized by the President to act on his or her behalf.

The 90% Tax Act.
1. This act reaffirms the right of the region to set it's own taxes at whatever levels it feels best for it's own taxpayers.

2. No form of taxation, be it income, corporate, or sales, can add to, when federal taxes are considered, over 90%. Federal numbers are taken as base numbers with Regional numbers added to this. In the event that regional taxes would push this number over 90%, the regional tax is then capped so that the new total of regional and federal taxes totals 90%.

3. The Governor may propose a referendum for repeal of this act if he or she has sufficient reason to believe the Federal government is taking advantage of this act to, in some way, harm the Pacific region.

This will fix the problem noted some time ago where our Regional and Federal income tax rates for the top bracket total over 100%

Make it 100%, and I'll support it.

Which would lead to no revenue, you realize that, right?

A move from 90% to 100% will not get my support.

Sorry, but I don't see anything wrong about taxing all income after a certain threshold. I don't necessarily want it to be that way, but I sure don't want to make it impossible.

Well, it essentially amounts to a maximum income, which can be part of a larger scheme to equalize the distribution of resources.

The Debt Tax Donation Act, Tax Exemption Reform Act and Elections Crisis Act have the allotted number of signatures.  Voting is now open for one week on all three.

We should just pass a bunch of crazy bills by default, just for the lulz.  That would send a message.  Grin

All three bills have been passed 5-0, with the exception of the Elections Crisis Act, which passes 3-2.

The floor is now open to new bills.
