| Message | we dont need all that money. And the poorest people of Lodamun will earn even less with your tax brackets. We will not support these anti-social taxes. |

| Message | We would actually be glad to make sure the poorest people in Lodamun earn just as much as the rich, by putting a 99% tax on all income over 8000, but we know it would never pass. |

| Message | So instead you take away the money of the poor? Should they all starve to death? Live under a bridge. You are inhuman. |

| Message | Hmm, good point. Just to make things fair we'll also make sure the poor get a guaranteed minimum income in the other bill. |
