| Message | This is a much better tax system then our previous one, I urge all parties to support OOC: If it let me go higher up the tax bracket to say 50,000, 75,000 +. I'd do that and I'll also prefer putting higher tax rates like say 75% or 85% for the highest incomes.But I digress. |

| Message | We shall support this bill, as this should free up enough surplus to be able to lower taxes in other areas. |

| Message | I will acctually support this. (Me supporting a LP tax proposal haha). I would vote no if you put the higher tax brackets to 75% or 85%, and I might later push to lower some of these taxes a little but I think you did a good job on this. |

| Message | I thank all parties for this unanimous vote. Bit I might ask the CDP, I put this exact same proposal earlier and you voted no, why did you have a sudden change of heart? |
