Message | The government thus far has failed to act amid the international financial storm, we in the Whig party urge the Peoples Assembly to pass this tax relief for the good of the Commonwealth. The punitive tax policies of socialism must be abandoned in order to give the people of Rutania financial room to breath. The economic problems we now face will not be solved by the state but instead by the prevailing forces of a free market. -Former President and Whig Party Chairman Elmer Clark |
