| Message | Geehrte Mitglied dieses Haus, I would like to take the possibility to respond to the honorable member. One can always discuss the tax percentage of course but the Government finds this a fair system; * To leave out the lowest income group is justified. Believe me earnings less than 18,000 DUM means absolute poverty. So, the lower class are paying taxes as well. * Reduction of red tape and fraud because this is a simple system which also will lead to more tax earnings * All tax reduction possibilities will be abolished too which are favoring the rich actually. Thank you, Hans Lagowitsch, Minister of Finance |

| 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. |
