| Message | This mere 2% tax has served us greatly in our nations economy yet you propose this bill without no explanation. |

| Message | We have a surplus of over 101 Billion Crowns, there's no reason to keep the sales tax, the income tax is enough. |

| Message | That tax on luxary goods keeps the surplus growing, the income tax alone can't advance our earnings. The luxary tax keeps the nation's surplus sustainable and doesn't pose a threat to the Hulstrian standard of living. Again a big fuss other nothing. |

| Message | The FAP's blatant scaremongering is ridiculous. Do they enjoy taking money out of the Greater Hulstrian economy for no reason? |

| Message | What the hell are you talking about? Taking money out of the economy? The surplus is part of the economy, its there for the government to fund, and invest in programs or international interests. I don't see whats the big problem with having a large surplus or is it just because a fascist was able to pass and none of you can claim it as one of your own personal victories? |
