| Message | This tax system is a really good one. We are taxing the rich toffs on high street who can afford to pay which will then give out greater revenue for spending increases and better services to help all of Alorian society. OOC: I would've liked to go past 25,000 but it wouldn't let me for some stupid reason. If it did, the taxes will be much higher for those on maybe 80,000 onwards and it would've been much better but for some stupid reason it stops at 25,000! The game creator needs to fix this, it is stupid. But we needs to make do with what we have don't we? After all, this is the only political game on the net as I know of. |

| Message | I think we might be better off, by keeping this bill in the floors of Parliament for awhile, while the other bills concerning the budget and taxes are passed. |
