| Message | I'm all for easing the burden off of our lower class. But perhaps after this we may want to reexamine the budget and go after our over-inflated luxury tax rate. Yes, our upper classes can carry the burden, but easing up on them may increase investment overall. |

| Message | It is always good to ease the tax burden on people, but we must make sure we have good investment into the vital areas of society such as education and health which again I will say have been boosted by the NP. |

| Message | A budget surplus is definately a plus and I hate to back out on a promise. I would agree with the call for a reevaluation of a luxury tax, capitol will keep fueling investment if we encourage it. |
