| Message | The nation is running a 44bn HCR surplus, and has been for many years. We had just been considering reducing income tax so why would we stifle investment and risk damaging our economy by raising sales taxes and forcing a large proportion of our people into poverty in their old age? |

| Message | Then I will remove the other proposals with the exception of the 2 percent tax on non-luxury goods; that may not have such a dramatic impact on investment and will raise at least some new revenue |
