The Coolness Bill and the Safe Trade Bill are the two bills the Trade Party wishes to pass in Parliament. “In these bills, the TP expresses its concern about the matters that most affect the nation and the citizens at present,” the party declares in its introduction for these bills dealing with the support for emerging companies working in the “green field” and trade.
The first bill, the Coolness Bill, would support “emerging or policy-changing companies” with a 25% tax break over a period of five years, as long as these companies work in the field of “alternate fuel or 'green' production”. This first 5-year period is to be followed by another 5-year period, where “no substantial tax breaks” would be made.
The intent of this bill is to offer the opportunity of a period of reduced taxes so that companies can develop more quickly and efficiently. The TP based their ideas on the NAO systems, which have already had success in the United Kingdom and Canada.
The second bill which the TP encourages is the Safe Trade Bill. This bill would maintain the safety of Petronian society. The goal of this bill is to secure that exported items will not cause war or violence. To this end, the TP plans to make exporters responsible for ensuring that items are not going to be used by the consumers as any kind of weapon. Furthermore, the TP would like to encourage protectionist countries to get more involved in trade by “limiting tariffs and custom taxes”.
TP spokesperson Josh Beasley is convinced that their bills are going to be a success: “Our bills don’t have any restrictions with other parties, but even support their views and goals." Whether these bills really cover what the Petronian people need the most will be judged by our Parliament.
