| Message | That is only on a perfect market economy, which doesn't exist. Competition does not always mean low prices. What is wrong with our current system? |

| Message | How about if we just make allow the ceasefire called ceasefire to be passed and stop having so much military money spent. At this point I'm ready to just say we'll never attack each other again. Lodamun takes care of Lodamun, Lika takes care of Lika. |

| Message | Yeah thats one thing we can cut, but there are other areas where can cut spending too and this is one of them. We want to cut spending in all areas, not just one, and allow our citizens to keep more of the money they earn for themself. Currently our upper and middle class are taxed twice, they have a high income tax which is more than double (for some even triple) the % of there income they pay, and on top of that they have the 18 % luxury tax on top of that, and if they ever start a buisness for themself they are hit with another 10% corporation tax. We need to cut all the spending we can so we can cut our citizens tax burden. Also it does need to be a perfect market, all it takes is two or more competitors, which is easy to achieve |
