Message | This incredibly inept financial plan would put us into a crushing deficit. The Brabantics prove yet again they cannot be trusted with Zardugal's finances. |
Date | 11:15:56, March 21, 2008 CET | From | Konservativa Respublikano Parti | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of April 2548 |
Message | Once again, the Saiserists have blasted a government proposal without looking at the facts. There are another 400,000,000,000 ZAR made through sales taxes. The two of these together make up for whatever shortfall is perceived by the Saiserist League. |
