| Message | Can't let all the bad go out...with it....think of the cost of the farm equipment we have to bring this revune some where, if we dont tax the food we will have to lower the minnium wage or increase taxes somewhere else. With this right here atleast when they purchase the food the money goes right back to the farm they bought it from my friend. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
