Parliament Proposes New Export Tax

This week, Parliament has proposed a new export tax. Though both parties have shown some support for this proposal, it still remains very confidential. Jim Muller, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, strongly agrees with the tax. “By instituting the export tax, we could raise the national budget from £6000 to possibly over £24,000,” Muller says. “We could get better funding for financial services, roads, and new construction, not to mention an increase the Defense Budget”. Among the supporters of this proposal are majority leader, His Grace Duke of Henley, and minority leader Hon. John Whitfield, as well as HRH Prince Joseph. However, the tax is held up against much opposition. Laurelhurst Firewood and Hauling, the largest exporter of goods in Trumania, has publicly announced that it does not favor the sales tax. Currently, negotiation between the Government and Laurelhurst are taking place. Liberal party leader, Michael Harris, has also opposed this calling it “an unnecessary burden on the citizens of Trumania.”
