| Message | We have a surplus, why do we need to increase taxes? TSP has said nothing of a renewed budget, so there really is no need to take more money than we need. That's highly unethical. |
| Date | 20:57:49, September 22, 2010 CET | From | Progressive Party | To | Debating the Tax Revenue Act |
| Message | We won't have a surplus forever. |
| Date | 21:31:05, September 22, 2010 CET | From | Subsidiarity Party | To | Debating the Tax Revenue Act |
| Message | Fortunately, we have had vast surpluses to cover our costs and then far above. We have actually save our money, as opposed to many left-wing progressive debt-holes across the globe. Even if we ran a deficit for a few years our budget would be just fine. However, seeing the slew of spending-heavy initiatives the Progressive Party has proposed in the last few years, one can only take their comments as a threat, not a prophecy. As the party which still controls the direction of Rutanian finance, and has done so successfully for decades, TSP rejects this measure as an outright attempt to undermine the authority of the Finance Minister, the Hon. Tobais Flynn, MP. Further, it is a bald-faced attempt to steal the hard-earned profits of successful businesses that drive the Rutanian economy to create an agenda-driven fund of hand-outs, bail-outs, and pay-outs. TSP calls upon all red-blooded and hard-working Rutanians to join it in rejecting this bill! |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
