| Message | Herr Speaker, Is the PSP just looking for trouble? The Middle class citizens of Dorvik keep our economy running! We will destroy large parts of our local businesses if we actually agree with an action like this one! |

| Message | Herr Speaker, This is a proposal to promote equality in our nation,why should some one who has more income pay less then the individuals who can barley support themselves? |

| Message | Herr Speaker, This proposal will do exactly the opposite of what the PSP wishes to see. A citizen with a meager salary of 20.000 Dolgars will be forced to live in poverty, as he will have just 10.000 remaining doglars to support him and maybe even his family. A citizen with a salary of 100.000 Doglars on the other hand will live a luxurious life in his villa, because he'll still have 50.000 Dolgars to pay his bills with. A progressive tax system, like our current system, fits our country, as it protects the poor and it still rewards the middle- and higher-class citizens for their hard work. PSP, please refrain from proposing populist laws again in the future. |
