Message | Though we prefer lower taxes, we believe it is not the right time to pass such a radical proposal. If we continue this proposal, then we may be lead to a deficit problem in the future. We would be open to this if each proposed tax rate is done gradually. |

Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
