| Message | Mr. Speaker, It's ridiculous that the lower incomes have to pay more in this income tax plan then the higher incomes. We only agree with a flat fair tax that will make sure everyone pays there equal share. Also, we've a surplus now, we don't have a shortage of money. Sullivan Speight, Minister of FInance |
