| Message | But what is going to happen with the poor. This economic difference between the rich and poor can lead to a split between the people. By raising the taxes we can create a welfare system to help the companies grow to create a faster economical growth as well as helping out the poor. |

| Message | Everyone should pay a flat tax and equal opportunity. Plus that gives people incentive to work harder since they can keep the money. We already have balanced the budget and are providing more tax cuts. We propose cutting the tax rates to 7% |

| Message | How is it equal if everyone pays the same when there is a big difference between the poor and rich. We need to have higher taxes so we can spend more money helping out the poor. |
