| Message | If we love the world so much, all of it, then why not love our own citizens by NOT implementing a ridiculous 45% luxury sales tax? |
| Date | 23:52:05, September 25, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the We love the world! |
| Message | The tax is only on luxury goods, which most of our people can't afford. The goods ALL of our people can afford are the essentials, where this bill CUT taxes. This Bill is equalitarian. The problem the Berosians seem to have is that it doesn't just 'love the rich'. |
