A new act has been drafted by UristMcWanderer!
- All stores of any sort are required to have 1 guard at the registers and 1 guard patrolling the shopping areas. The amount of guards patrolling the shopping areas may be enlarged depending on the size of the store.
- All banks must have 2 armed guards during business hours, and must have no less than 2 armed guards patrolling the bank while it is closed. The guards only have to guard 8-hour shifts, and will be replaced by new guards when their shift is over.
- ALL banks and stores of any sort must have security cameras placed regularly. Shopping mall establishments must have a room where they can see what the cameras see, and must have a security staff of no less than 15 segway-mounted security guards (AKA rent-a-cops). If anything is stolen from an individual store of the mall, the entire mall is to be placed under lockdown until the thief is captured and the item returned.
8 oppose it, on the grounds that it will cost way too much.

The minimum wage is to be set no lower than 50% of the average wage (for comparison, it is currently around 30%)
All citizens will have food purchases of up to 2000 calories per day of staple foods(rice, bread, milk, etc. No expensive foods) provided free of charge, the cost being payed by the government.
Alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs are to be provided free of charge to all individuals, and such organizations may submit claims for expenses directly related to rehabilitation to the government.
Tips are not to be considered part of a worker's wages.
Employers are financially liable for any injuries directly related to an individual's work
All other medical expenses, with the exception of elective procedures and treatments, which cost more than 5% of a household's annual income will be paid by the government
Tax brackets are to be defined in terms of the average wage, as follows, with boundaries being included in the upper bracket:
50% of average-80% of average: none
80% of average-average: 10%
average-120% of average: 15%
120% of average to 200% of average: 25%
200% of average - 400% of average: 35%
400% of average+ : 90%
12 people oppose it, on the grounds that it would wreak havoc! Someone making a dollar over 30$ per hour would actually make less than someone making minimum wage!
Average wage: $15
Minimum wage (with act in place) : $7.50
Minimum wage/year: $21,840
tax: $0
Total: $21,840
401% of minimum wage/year: 87,361
tax: 78,360
Total: 8,737
