From	Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa)
To	Debating the New Covenant
Message	You can't bundle it with a tax bill, Libertarian Party. You can't bundle income tax and spending bills. That's why I submitted the tax overhaul first.

Date	17:01:05, May 27, 2008 CET

Date	17:09:16, May 27, 2008 CET
From	Liberal Party
To	Debating the New Covenant
Message	Come on... do we really need that much money for funding our nation?? Why the hell we need 30 billion (read: BILLION!) increase on healthcare? We support universal and good and solid healthcare for everyone, but by spending so much on this?? Outragious! And therefor the taxes also rise out of control! Let our people pay more tax every year to fund this ridicolous budget!

Date	17:56:25, May 27, 2008 CET
From	Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa)
To	Debating the New Covenant
Message	Our last spending bill, also opposed by conservatives, prompted a period of unprecedented, non-inflationary economic growth. Within a period of a few short years, Aloria's economy exploded such that the luxury sales tax, which generated 1.2 billion per point before the bill, generated over 2 billion per point after the bill. Although measured in absolute dollars spending increased, expressed as a percentage of GDP, Alorian federal government spending actually decreased as a result of the bill. We believe this New Covenant with the Alorian people, which places an even greater emphasis on educational gains, on infrastructure improvements, and on health and social services, will spark yet another explosion of the Alorian economy.

Date	21:11:45, May 27, 2008 CET
From	Alorian Public Union
To	Debating the New Covenant
Message	Since the corresponding tax bill passed, to not vote for this would be a masive waste of surplus revenue.
