| Message | Lowering taxes for families is very welcome, especially on essential goods - no one should be taxed on things they need to survive. It also puts more money into peoples' pocket which they will spend on other goods and aid the economy and businesses in other ways. This is therefore a pan socialist and capitalist proposal and I endorse it. I would be interested as to why parties would vote against such a balanced policy? President Reverend Bartholomew Crisp. |
