Rescinded Reasonable Salaries Act

[Gluonmaster]

CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT​

---

A BILL TO
Reasonable Salaries Act​

---

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:

PART I - PRELIMINARIES

1. Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the “Reasonable Salaries Act (RSP)”.

(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.

(3) This Act has been authored by Representative Gluonmaster

(4) This Act has been sponsored by Representative Gluonmaster

(5) This Act has been co-sponsored by Representative

(6) This Act amends the following acts:

(a)
(b)

2. Reasons and Intent
(1) The government is running a deficit and people are using that to justify unreasonable taxes that mostly impact the price of goods for new players and impact non optimized start up chestshop businesses. These are people who lack a reliable source of income unlike government employees.

(2) Meanwhile, the government is still in this debt. I am therefore calling for a temporary salary reduction which is weighted to mostly impact highly coveted leadership roles that people already will want regardless of salary pay. For example people love the idea of being President or being a Supreme Court Judge. They shouldn't only do these jobs for the money. My proposal would impact all government jobs but it's relatively small for middle management. Furthermore, many middle management positions such as Senior Rangers are already paid in commissions. The lower positions of Rangers are already paid in commissions. This is true not just for the DoI but for every department. If a job is already paid in commissions, then that job does not need a larger salary.

(2) My opponents may argue these cuts won't do much, if so they why not just pass the bill? The reason they will oppose this in reality is not because it won't do much but rather because they want their salaries meanwhile the commonfolk will have to foot the bill. Furthermore, these salaries are paid every 20 minutes, lots of people are in government jobs, and people tend to be in game for hours so it adds up over the course of a month.

(3) My opponents may also argue that this bill will discourage work in the government. This is not true since many jobs are already paid in commission, many leadership roles are highly coveted, and this isn't completely abolishing salaries.

(4) My opponents may also argue this bill will take money out of the economy. But if you pair this bill with my tax cuts, it will actually lead to about the same amount of money in the economy. The only difference is we're shifting the money from those who already are employed to those who are vagabonds that lack employment.

(5) My opponents may also ask, why not just cut UBI? The reason is because UBI gives money to new players so that they can roleplay being consumers thus increasing their interest in the server since new players generally lack the connections, knowledge, and ability to be in labor roleplay.
