| Message | It turns out that adding the 8% bracket doesn't actually add much revenue, so I'm not too concerned with the offset after all... |

| Message | In order to further soften the burden of the tax code on the poor and middle classes, I propose lowering the essential goods sales tax to 3%, which should cost the budget approximately 30 billion of the projected 100 billion budget surplus. The reduction proposed by the DLLP in the luxury tax rate should consume most of the rest of the budget surplus, giving us an overall balanced budget - but we'll trim the defense budget a bit if it goes over. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
