| Message | The earlier proposal that didn't pass was: 30/40 45/60 60/80 Now, with less need of money, and with cuts, the tax have been lowered, and also to give this a chance to pass: 24/20 48/40 96/80 If the AL still has problem with this, then we'd revise it and have higher taxes for the rich, and send that. |
