Message | Why should it be free? where is the money coming from? especially if the parties reject your 100% tax on corporations. Can i give you some advice? Wait until you get your wish of 100% tax on corporations before this one goes through - because i'd like to see where you are going to get money from to do this. NCP opposes this move |

Message | "I'm sure all of you know that there are few taxes in socialism." The State takes everything from the individual and redistributes it, regardless of hom much (or how little) other contribute to the economy. In my books, that is a 100% tax on income and property. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
