| Message | If we have a surplus, then we can afford to CUT taxes. As in, reduce them somewhat. Not, on any account, ever, can we run a government with NO source of income. No matter how large the surplus, we cannot last on purely losing money. |

| Message | There is a source of income, which is income tax... do your home work before responding. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
