| Message | Mr. Speaker, Having only women serve in the military will eliminate more jobs that it creates. Furthermore, the retirement options herein presented, or lack thereof, will cause a greater amount of competition in the workplace, which will then spin off into a higher rate of unemployment, to a higher rate of poverty, and then to a higher death rate as a result. We simply cannot condone this. I yield. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, All tax rates in the Empire are set in the Imperial Constitution. Any attempt to modify them without first amending the Constitution is illegal. I yield. |
