| Message | I agree with the minimum wage one strongly, but some of the others i must disagree with. For example the massive tax increase, ridiculous. And Baltusians have believed that whatever you want to put into your body, you may, if you are that stupid. Bit of a Darwinist approach, see. Now I do agree with the hospital thing, because there is no reason we shouldn't have private clinics at all. |

| Message | Article 6 was meant to be 30 or some where in the 20's but the 15 we have now is way to low. |
| Date | 02:53:36, November 28, 2007 CET | From | United Independent Front | To | Debating the UIF Bill: Reformation Act |
| Message | Article 5 I also dont entirely agree with... So I made some wrong choices on this Bill... Article 6 I think I made the wrong decision about it looking back now.. Since we are not in a deficit excess taxes wouldnt be necessary so it would simply hurt business. Im sorry on some of our Legislators they werent representing the views of the UIF when they wrote this Bill.... |
