Message	THIS is why I wanted more taxes. More money; more stuff with which to buy weapons. And stuff. I also added more money to certain departments, but took away some from others (WHY does the HoG need 1 billion pounds? He really does nothing, it's the other cabinet ministers who do junk), and I transfered the money I saved from taking away from the HoG and gave it to Health and Social Services, because we can't have potential warriors die from the flu, can we?

To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	This is a BIG increase: but as it's mostly going to defence we'll overlook that IF the extra funds are raised appropriately.

To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	PNF's post wasn't there when I was typing mine. I'm glad you included the word 'potential' because servicemen would be looked after by their services' medical services, funded out of the defence budget. For that matter the DHSS doesn't need much money, as all healthcare is private!

From	Luthori Green Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	I wonder if we will ever have a budget increase where most of the increase is not related to law enforcement and/or defence. We spend more on defence, internal affairs, and justice, than we do on foreign affairs, environment and tourism, food and agriculture, science and technology, education and culture, and health and social services, combined. Four out of every nine dollars we spend on the budget will be on defence, internal affairs, and justice.

From	Covenanters (IA)
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	I don't mean to be pedantic but it's pounds, not dollars. On a more important note: we're already taxing the majority of people 30% of their income. We really need to raise revenue by increasing their salaries, not increasing the proportion of them paid in tax.

Date	15:09:29, January 25, 2006 CET
From	Luthori Green Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	We currently have only one way to increase salaries, and that is to set the minumum wage, and you have been against that.

Date	15:13:56, January 25, 2006 CET
From	Covenanters (IA)
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	It's bad for business. It standardises salaries, rather than raise them across the board, leads to unemployment in the casual work sector, leads to an increase of "cash in hand" work that remains below the minimum wage but evades taxation altogether, etc. We really need to improve Luthori's image with business by not imposing regulations on them every 6 years then removing them again!

Date	16:36:04, January 25, 2006 CET
From	Shuggoth Progressive Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	We would have liked to have seen an increase to both Environment and Tourism, and Food and Agriculture. But we will support this. I agree that the HOG does not need that much!

Date	17:16:17, January 25, 2006 CET
From	Social Calvinist Unionist Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	Notice that I added stuff to education and culture, health, trade, industry, trade, and infrastructure.

Date	18:14:57, January 25, 2006 CET
From	Redneck Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	We do not support the tax hikes, and we damn sure will not support higher spending. It's criminal.

Date	09:03:20, January 26, 2006 CET
From	Luthori Green Party
To	Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175
Message	Yes, the lack of your support is criminal.
