| Message | Unfortunately this is not feasible. The taxpayers do not need yet another tax hike, there should be a limit on what we should spend money on. Disaster relief is an important cause to help a nation get back on its feet, but just sending money to nations poorer than us is not an effective use of it. Therefore we must vote no. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
