| Message | (IC)!! thats a bit crazy "the more we take off people in tax, the less they can spend on guns in the place!" this bill can provide local auothirties with a option of funding higher education, greater protection for striking workers, heathcare to low incomes and greater defence spending. Low incomes need extra support for heathcare. I tink your slightly missing the point! |
