| Message | Mr Speaker, Apart from the fact that income taxes are inherently unjust and bad for the economy, and should be eliminated, this proposal shows the inherent socialism of the RFP: Steal more from the successful and less from the unsuccessful. We should rather be moving in another way, towards a flat tax. Eric Stronghold Tanist (TG) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, we find it admirable to cut taxes for the poor, but we disagree with the means of accomplishing it. All tax relief should come from spending cuts, where we have still a considerable potential to eliminate waste. Furthermore, we must keep in mind that the rich invest and in a time like this, when we suffer from high unemployment, we must welcome and encourage any private investment.
