Repeal "National Systems of Tax"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #105
Proposed by: Powerhungry Chipmunks

Description:
UN Resolution #105: National Systems of Tax (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument:
The United Nations,

APPLAUDING ?National Systems of Tax? for upholding nations? rights to self-determination in the area of tax systems,

RECOGNIZING the short treatment, however, which ?National Systems of Tax? gives some very important, international issues concerning tax systems (such as tariffs and international tax incentives),

NOTING, ESPECIALLY, the resolution author?s willingness and desire to address such issues,

ACKNOWLEDGING, with reluctance, the mechanical need to repeal ?National Systems of Tax? in order to re-address those important international issues and to more adequately secure national rights,

ASSURING member nations of future legislation, which will be more comprehensive and explanatory in scope, more serviceable to member nations in protecting their rights to determining their own tax systems, while more permitting of international determination of international taxation issues:

REPEALS ?National Systems of Tax?.

Voting Ends: Mon Jul 18 2005

I'd be interested to learn more of the background relating to this. Do any of our historians remember and if so, what are the implications?

Thanks.

I'll look in the National Systems of Tax records later today, but the short answer is that some government(s) managed to convince the Powerhungry Chipmunks that there were still some loopholes in their resolution. What is unclear to my government is if they want to allow nations to set up tarriffs and taxes or not.

It's such a quick repeal. I recall voting yes for it a short time ago while not being convinced it was a terribly strong or useful resolution.

However, if Powerhungry Chipmunks (or any other nation) think there is a loophole, it should sponsor a proposal which fixes it at the same time it repeals. So its first operative section would read: 1. Resolution # is repealed. 2. National taxes are now set at 10% (or whatever the idea is that fixes a supposed error).

Well, that does it. A "no" it is.

Unfortunately, an attempt to put new legislation and a repeal together as one is illegal according to the UN proposal rules.

Right, the Powerhungry Chipmunks will certainly be proposing a replacement resolution sometime this summer.
