| Message | But we have to have SOME money. The government cant run on nothing. If we have no income tax we need sales tax. When I say cut income tax, i mean completely. |

| Message | yes, i know, i mean cut them both but not completely. In order to give the government enough money from a sales tax you would have to have sales tax at something like 80% which noone is ever going to support even if they don't have to pay income tax. I would rather see a low(er) level of sales tax and then a flat income tax (also lower) with minimal government spending, but i cannot agree to abolishing income tax, at least certainly not until their are other taxes, suchas those on fuel which can be imposed instead |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
