Message | This tax acts as a voluntary means of forfeiting money, as part of payment on luxury. This restores us to status quo, in the elimination of the income tax. If the income tax is not rectified, we will vote against this own bill of ours to ensure we don't have another tax on top of the income. This will return the income to that which covers the current budget, bloated as it is. |
Date | 19:52:07, July 06, 2008 CET | From | National Movement for Civic Democracy | To | Debating the Luxury Tax |
Message | We are ok with the idea of a fair tax system, but only if it can bring in reasonable revenue. |
