From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2175 | | 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? |

From | Covenanters (IA) | 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. |

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! |
