| Message | It is clear that the Christian Democrats are incompent when it comes to finances. The budget proposal has not passed yet. You need to wait until it passes to propose something like this. |

| Message | actually this cut comes with a extra 40 billion surplus planned for the upcoming year so that we can shoulder any short term pitfall, and both our spending and taxation plans are being voted on at the same time so it makes no difference. we managed to cut taxes and even without factoring in Luxury and corporate taxes, balance the budget. the extra 40 billion will be distributed next year in our next round of proposed tax cuts. |

| Message | OOC: Can you rewrite that? Honestly, I did ot understand a thing you just said. Tax cuts? Surplus? Use some periods, please. I am not criticizing you but simply stating that it is very difficult for me to undestand if you don't use proper punctuation. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
