| Message | i would vote for a reduction, but only if there is a small retail tax on everyday items, like 1 or 2. I could vote yes if it was going to be around 15 or so. |

| Message | By abolishing the luxury tax, we could stimulate spending and the economy in general. If the Income Tax Act is passed, the taxpayers will get a single tax bill for the year and enjoy their spending power without other hands in their pockets. |
