| Message | Wait, so tax production instead of consumption? Absolutely not. Low corporate taxes mean more and better jobs for our people. |

| Message | It is not consumption that people have a choice on. It's consumption that is necessary in order to LIVE. It is corporate profits that are not necessary. I don't think 2% is too much to ask for. |

| Message | Strongly opposed. The Ministry of Finance is still part of the Government of Darnussia. |
