| Message | If you want to reduce the corporate tax you need to reduce spending as well. In this time of war and conflicts, we need to keep our military forces strong. The other services are asking for more money, so cutting in them will decrease the quality of social services and public offices. |

| Message | Unfortunately, we will not be able to deal with the Ministry of Finance, so what's the point of asking us? We do have a plan in place to reduce the deficit, but since nobody appears to be willing to compromise, and since everybody is far too engaged in trying to gain as much power as possible, I see no reason to lay it out at the moment. |

| Message | UP: I don't see how we are unwilling to compromise. Already it looks like your other tax cuts will be passed by bipartisan support, not just this one. Minister of Finance made a perfect valid point. Off that one statement you can't work with the Minister? Or I am misunderstanding that? Anytime someone is going to propose tax cuts, spending increases that put us in further deficit or could put us there, we expect a plan from whatever party, even if we do it. And we take it a slow piece approach and not shock the system. |
