Message | No tax under 3000 LOD, getting more progressive until it hits a maximum rate of 90% on around 7000ish. That's the most taxation I would support. |

Message | That's a tax decrease... Our goal is to tax everyone as much as possible in a fair, progressive system. Then we provide for each person's sustenance with tax-funded social programs. The only way to ensure that our economy recovers. ((sort of like trying to pick up a bucket while standing in it)) |
