| Message | We strongly agree with this tax plan and believe this is most definitely a better income tax balance. |

| Message | We see tax cuts went to the rich and the middle class, however you a proposing a tax hike on the lowest income in the table. Also by adding up all of the revune from income and the other sources it shows if I'm correct we may only have a 2 to 3 billion dollar surplus, and we believe we need to have a healthy surplus put away for rainy days. We want to give tax cuts as much as everyone else but, we need to make sure the nations fiscal house stays in order. |

| Message | "Alorian Independent Party, our goal is flat tax, equal tax for everyone. And this tax reform is a good start, but not enough of course. Before the budget proposal we had about 500.000.000 ALO surplus and now we have 6.500.000.000 ALO. This new tax policy cost almost all surplus, as we promised, but we will have a good marginal left . And 15% is just the beginning, our goal is 10% for every man and women. So for the people with lowest income, this is just temporary." |

| Message | Now when you lower the tax closer to your goal next time what about the surplus then? Are you going to address the budget? We just want to make sure we don't have Aloria going into debt. |

| Message | I agree with AIP... How will we keep the surplus with your proposed tax cuts to 10%? I also think we need a system where the rich pay more tax! |

| Message | The fat-cat Dundorfian do not deserve any more privilege than the rest of us. It is simple math really. If I make 2,000 ALOs, and lose 200 of it, then I have 1800 for food, shelter, and other accommodations. If a Dundorfian makes 20,000, and pays 2,000, then they have thousands of extra ALOs that could be used to upbring the Latin Alorians. I deny this bill. |
