| Message | Rt Hon Marquess Spence, Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, this Socialist taxation Bill will re-distribute wealth throughout Hutori, with taxing the rich at high percentages. This eases the tax burden on the lower earners and with all the recent reforms, they will truly be the ones who benefit from all these socialist reforms. This sees the wealthy, who have been able to dominate Hutorian society for decades and hopefully this evens the playing field for all Hutorian citizens. |

| Message | Madam Speaker, to take away 70% of the income of somone earning 100,000 would render them earning 30,000! That is wihin the lowest income taxation threshold! This is insane! Madame Speaker, the gentleman obviously knows nothing about moderation! Nor of common sense either for that matter. Absolutely not! |

| Message | Madam Speaker, does the Labour Party not want to see the poorest areas of society come on a par with the wealthy? Is that not part of socialism where we do what is better for the WORKING MAN? and not the upper class man? If Labour have any suggestions as to how we can re-even the balance without using taxes then we are all ears because unless they are some sorts of political and financial geniuses (which they arent) then they can tell Parliament about their masterplan to create socialism? |

| Message | Madam speaker, all we are trying to achieve is good public services which allow all people an equal chance in life, and a potential meritocracy. We believe that there needs to be a net by which no man may sink under, but where everyone is free to prosper above. According to us, the children of the working man should be able to get a top class education, go to one of hutori's finest universities and become one of the people earning more than 100,000. That is our dream. We want the lowest to prosper! Not the highest to be brought down to the level of the lowest! What would the point be! |

| Message | Madam Speaker, that is one of the neccessary points of socialism? How do Labour intend equal opportunities for all people when the wealthy can dominate all areas of Hutorian society, business etc? Perhaps they should provide an answer to Parliament and not try to fabricate an arguement against the NSC because all Labour are saying is trying to score political points. Now Madam Speaker, i ask the gentleman opposite to answer how he would achieve this dream, without the need for high taxes on the wealthy? |

| Message | Madame Speaker, we are currently taxing the wealthy highly, but under this all our wealthy will leave the country and we will gain even less revenue! The Gentleman does not think, does he? We are not trying to score political points, we are arguing our case, and being an opposition, that is our job, madame speaker! The HNP, oops NSC, need to understand how a parliamentary system works. It is a place where all are allowed to express opinion as they wish! It does not revolve their party! |
