| Message | I don't like how heavily it taxes the poor (we don't even get very much from them), but overall I support it. |

| Message | There is some good in this bill, however we cannot support it because it seeks to bring in higher taxes for the worse off in society, who can barely afford to pay taxes as it is. Though we do support higher taxes for the rich. |

| Message | Nice proposal, the burden of the new health care equally divided. |
