Message | The NUP is not in control of the Finance Ministry, so we particularly disagree with the change in tax. If the Republic of Telamon needs a budget reform, push the Finance Minister to do so. |

Message | To be fair to the NUP, the finance ministry hasnt done anything worthy of note for many years. Our current budget and taxation system is a TNP proposed one. |
