| Message | "Mr. Speaker" "The thing about the sales tax is that it affects poor persons much more then it does the upper class, this is one place we need to either abolish tax or make it progressive." Patty Gwnn Imperial Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The LPU once again show their ignorance and complete lack of understanding of economics. But then again we aren't surprised. After all this is the party along with the Falanges that nearly bankrupt Luthori. Seriously, increased sales tax on luxury goods is bad for the poor? We are talking luxury goods here. I yield. The Rt Hon. Oscar Shelby Imperial Prime Minister |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, basically, we only have two choices here: increase the income tax and make lives difficult to all people or increase the sales tax for LUXURY ITEMS and make lives difficult to NONE. We proudly choose the right thing. I yield. Elan Grounding MP Minister for Finance |

| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
