| Message | For those who have decided to vote against this, please look at the income tax proposal -- we agree that this bill alone should not be passed, but in combination with the other bill it should be. We asked the Free Citizens to propose the bill, but they wouldn't, hence the delay. |

| Message | This is a horrible insult to us, we must decide no. |

| Message | I cannot bring myself to vote either for or against this bill. Why should the basic necessities of life be given a higher tax? |

| Message | It's for the purpose of simplicity in the tax system; our income tax proposal exempts all income below 7500 DRA, which more than compensates for this increase. |
