| Message | The Sales tax needs to be reviewed as well 50% is rediculous, and the defence budget is out of proportion completely. However I fully endorse this change in taxation. |

| Message | There is no sales tax afaik. The People vigorously condemn all statements made by the infidelitous traitors who scuttle beneath the mantle of "RRP", but will of course support the finance minister in all ways possible (and a few which aren't). |

| Message | If this proposal passes then I won't touch the luxury taxes - this will allow for stimulated growth, leaving the poorest families tax free and provide for a larger surplus to work with. |
