| Message | We feel this bill was proposed to the Federal Assemble as a political swipe at our Party for our recent controversial bill. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, How can we tax churches? Very few religious establishments make profits or even have the methods to make a profit. Churches are community based organizations that reinvest in the community. Say no to taxing religions. Most of them are make too little as it is now to get by. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
