| Message | We cannot support a sales tax above 1 or 2 percent on food and other essentials. If one person were to go hungry due to such a sales tax, that would be one person too many. This is too bad, as we would vote for the other two increases with the extra revenue generated going to cut middle class taxes, as is in fact done. This may pass without our support; but if it does not and our support is desired, either eliminating Article 2 or replacing the rate with a rate no higher than 2 percent (making up the revenue either through a higher corporate tax or a slightly higher income tax than the LITP proposed) would lead us to vote for it. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
