| Message | This Budget reduces government spending to a level which the Dranian taxpayer can support without a crushing level of tax; it does so by making cuts in primarily bureaucratic Departments (such as Head of Government, Foreign Affairs & Finance), as well as trimming down the more vital sectors to levels of spending that are more than sufficient (such as Defense, Justice & Education). With these savings, we have introduced a large income tax cut that entirely eliminates the poor from the tax rolls. |

| Message | This is getting ridiculous; too many MNAs are spending all of their time at parties & allowing important bills to die on the floor. The Cabinet proposal has already failed in this way -- if these economic bills don't pass because of abstentions we'll put forward a vote for an early election. The electorate will not take kindly to lazy politicians. |

| Message | Can you really blame the politicians for their apathy though? If you mentioned the words "FPP" and "tax bill" to 100 random people on the street, I bet you anything that at least 76 of them would keel over fast asleep! |
