| Message | Same amount of tax, just stuck of the rich instead of the poor. |

| Message | 31%-43% tax rate is awfully high. You'll be driving the rich to move to other countries and leaving Jakania stuck with only poor people. We prefer a fairer, more balanced tax. |

| Message | Talk about unfair.... |

| Message | Don't lie to the people by saying this isn't fair. The rich have more money, they pay more, they still have more money, so what have they got to complain about? A fair tax proposal taxes those who can pay most and those that cannot least. This IS fair. Rich people won't leave Jakarta as long as there means of making of money is here. (In my opinion they can fuck off anyway.) |

| Message | Not if you raise taxes, they'll go elsewhere to establish stuff. |
