This small tax increase will fund our education and health service But due to Baltusia's Mostly Nationalised Economy all citizens will receive a small percentage of profits thanks to reasons such as rail fares overseas investments by publicly owned companies and the sale of new anti-Cancer drugs developed by researchers in the NBHS (National Baltusian Health Service) to overseas companies and thanks to a state controlled economy inflation rates and other economic matters can be regulated thanks to this the people of Baltusia will be effectively paid back part of the their taxes |

| Message | You say mostly nationalised but you are still raking in more than 33 billion dollars from raised corporation tax. Basically you are working the private sector into the ground to pay for your unnecessary philanthropy, President Benn. It is discriminatory, it is punitive and saying you only need tiny income tax rises like this to pay for everything because of your magnificent financial management is bull crap. Everyone knows who is paying for it - the hardworking private sector that you fail to acknowledge exists because you can't get your head out of your communist derriere. Peace!

| Message | Well if the private companies agree to be owned by the workers then they won't have to pay the taxes |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
