Message | We Gp think it is a good proposal. Moreover we would be well to think to one not tax area for the too much poor. Instead for the rich class, we could study tax rebate for who improves the conditions of job, atmospheres of job and the health of the workers in the privately-owned companies. |

Message | The TCP will not support this bill, as it is utterly, utterly appalling. Everyone should pay the same taxes regardless of their situation, but more importantly, the percentage income tax that the SCA has proposed here is absolutely propostorous - even the figures assigned to the poor! The TCP believes in every working man's right to pay absolutely minimal taxes - this absolutely fundamental right the TCP considers far, far more important than the government's repayment of any debts they may have fallen into as consequence for ill-thought out transactions. Figures such as 48, 45, 42, 36, and even 24 and 17 percent are absolutely ludicrous. The TCP cannot see how any political party without absolutely huge prejudice, bias, and hatred for the social elite could ever come up with figures so propostorously high. The TCP would like to remind the Socialist and Communist parties that proposals such as high taxation of the wealthy have proved to be radically problematic and unpopular and have failed countless times in the past, as have all other Marxist theories. Making such a rediculous increase in taxation would cause an absolute uproar in this nation's society. Any decent, logical, sane human being can see that being taxed almost half of your entire income is an even more rediculous idea than any other ill-thought out communist ideas. The TCP opposes this bill more than any other bill that the SCA has ever proposed. The TCP is now convinced that the SCA is not currently considering the consequences of their actions at all, and that they are introducing bills purely as a bi-product of their own deep prejudices and bias, and their own personal hatred of the wealthy members of society, as aposed to introducing bills for purposes such as protecting and better-ing society and living standards, or improving the economy. The TCP reminds the SCA and any of the other parties that may support it and\or this bill that inflicting such deep inner prejudice and bias on society is not political or strategic. Its simply just blind, irrational prejudice, and a selfish enslaught on the populace resulting from this prejudice. This proposal is ludicrous and the TCP will do everything in its power to destroy this bill and any bill like it in future. This bill is very, very ill thought out, even for a party that follows a rash, chaotic-thinking, irrational, rediculous, supremely problematic proven faliure of an idelogy such as Communism or Socialism. The TCP is completely disgusted. |

Message | We wish to distance ourselves from the stance of the TCP to say that the bill is appalling, but we feel that the burden of tax should be spread a bit differently. We propose for the following brackets the next percentages: 1 - 5% 2 - 15% 3 - 25% 4 - 35% 5 - 45% 6 - 55% |
