| Message | We'll also propose an adjustment to the income tax. We don't want both taxes to pass. But we need at least one of them to restore the balanced budget. Barring a popular mandate from all the parties, Finance Minister Star has stated that she will not propose any budgets which increase spending beyond 73 billion ALOs before the elections of 2538. Provided taxes are adjusted to meet budget needs now, neither will she propose any more tax increases until then. |

| Message | Never mind about the income tax proposal. We'll propose that if this one fails. |
