Description[?]:
| The Whig Party propose to adjust the government's income tax policy to better address the economic situation of the Commonwealth of Rutania. The leftist alliance imposed the largest income tax increase in living memory on Rutanians, as Chancellor of the Exchequer I recommend this Income tax proposal to give relief to the millions of hardworking Rutanians who have been hurt by the drastic taxes imposed by the Leftist Coalition. I urge the Peoples Assembly to approve this plan to give justice to the Rutanians who rejected the Leftist Coalition and their punitive taxes. --Chancellor of the Exchequer Richard Burnsburg |
