To	Debating the Flat Tax Proposal 2146

Date	21:45:26, November 30, 2005 CET
From	Social-Conservative party
To	Debating the Flat Tax Proposal 2146
Message	The Social-conservative party are divided ont he issue. While we feel that the rich can afford an extra percent, and probably have a moral responsibility to do so, one can also ask, why should we punish those whom are wealthy with extra taxes ?, Just because they are rich they should pay more percent then those whom contribute little to society. For there may be no doubt that a industry owner, giving jobs to 10.000 workers, gives more to society then an unemployed alcoholic. So the social-conservative party will abstain from voting in this issue unless a side of the argumentation can persuade us.
