| Message | The Parti Républicain, unfortunately, cannot agree with Article 2. We believe that lower taxes overall will better help the Alorian people to have more money for them to use. We are fine with a higher luxury tax, but the sales tax is essential to the growth of small businesses. If the Conservative Party is willing to get rid of Article 2, the PR will vote in favor of this bill. I now yield the floor. Paul Rousseau PR Finance Candidate |
