| Message | Mr Speaker, The tithe is a Holy Imperial tradition, setting it at anything other than ten percent is just not the Luthori way. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Certain parties should refrain from referring to their seat share percentage as "tradition". I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, When the boy joins a party with over 500 years of imperial service: he might understand the meaning of tradition. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Are we to think that the corporate CEO or even the small business owner, or even simple worker, that would fall under this tax doesn't understand the ten percent tithe? I do, because I am a Christian. Does that mean I need the government to attack me for it? NO! I am voting against this, not for religious reasons, but because we would run a national debt I can't allow that. I yield. |
