| Message | You are basically proposing to double the income tax the worst off earners in society have to pay. How is this a fair way to generate extra revenue - which we don't need anyway because we are running a healthy surplus? |

| Message | Yes but the thing is I want to make sure this never happens again because of your actions. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
