| Message | No, and we would kindly remind you that tax policy is more a government responsibility and your 37% rate for corporate tax would contradict our recent efforts at reducing the tax burden in a bid to promote growth. |

| Message | Meh I don't care. The only "growth" worth mentioning is if the average working stiff can afford to pay the rent without going into debt. Last I checked capitalist "growth" never took this into account. |

| Message | While we don't agree with One and believe you could go more extreme with Three, overall we support this Bil. |

| Message | The average worker probably can afford the rent, everything is based on averages ....... Kanjor's economy i stable and there have been no sudden fluctuations that could cause the averag workr to be unable to afford rent. if the average worker could not afford rent inflation would increase and they'd end up earning more everything else would go up to balance it so that the average worker could survive - especially if average is to be the most common. Further, the last tax bill reduced taxes for the average worker and for those on lower incomes. |

| Message | The average worker is borrowing an unprecedented amount of money to pay for necessities. You see years of heightened productivity and stagnate wages has created an interesting situation. workers are producing more than ever before, while making utter the shit. Your fat cat friends can't consume the ridiculous profits that they're raking in so they've taken the the productivity gains of the working class and loaned it back to them in the form of usurious credit. This hyper Keynesian is an act of pure graft by the ruling class and will not be tolerated for long. Have you not read the reports of the strikes in Sovalt. Of the barricades and bleeding wrecks of police? The toilers are on the offensive and the parasites can't buy them off anymore. A grand revolution is brewing and the KCP will be on the receiving end of it! The chants of "la lutte continue" and "liberté, égalité, fraternité" are not mere noise. They are the watchwords of revolution! |
