| Message | We cannot support this proposal, as it is simply used to bolster the status of plurality party and its allies while awarding a few token position to parties that have few or no seats, like our own. |

| Message | MLP has shown itself too often to be too irresponsible to handle the budget. The constant foolish baseless cutting has to end somewhere. |

| Message | Irresponsible?! You put DR on your cabinets and they injected an unprecedented 25% hike in the corporate tax. Who do you think companies pass this expense on to? How many jobs did that cost Aloria? It's basic economics folks. |

| Message | The 25% hike that followed your once again emaciating the income tax? The absurdity of your own proposals seems to escape you, so we're glad you at least took notice of this one. |

| Message | Being wise and giving the people of Aloria what they want -- an updated cabinet -- which is more that I can say for the rest of you tax-hiking, regressive political parties. No wonder you keep losing elections PRP! |

| Message | AFD you need to help cut the budget plain and simple. We can keep creeping it up. We need to LOWER taxes AND spending. No supply-side economics here. That's why we win elections time-and-time again and you don't. The people like peace, prosperity and freedom and they have for the past 9 decades in Aloria's parliament and about the past 2 decades in the Executive Branch presidency. |
