Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, The current income tax system induces an unfair burden on higher earnings. At it's core, it is effectively a penalty on studying, diligence and hard labour. A flat income tax is the only fair way of taxing incomes, as it means that everyone is paying proportionally the same for the same benefits, with those earning more also paying more. Furthermore, there is an unnecessary budget surplus, effectively meaning that we are staling peoples money to store in our treasuries. Our tax proposal will bring the budget in balance once more.
