| Message | This is essentially part one of two steps which switches out the income tax for the sales tax. This will save us money as we won't have to pay for bureaucratic services that must track the wealth levels of people, and this sales tax will also be much harder to evade. Furthermore, this tax will be one directly upon standards of living, freeing up income of individuals for investment or charity. This is part one because we currently don't know how much revenue this will bring into our government. This bill will allow us to calculate how much of a percentage tax is necessary to properly fund the government. |

| Message | The plan is to replace the income tax with the sales tax. This bill is just here to allow my party to calculate the sales tax percentage needed to bring in the necessary revenues for the Aldegarian government. |

| Message | By the way, we do, of course, plan on the luxury tax being much larger than essential goods tax. |
