| Message | The PSPL loves to raise taxes, and not cutting welfare. Passing this slight tax increase, will greatly increase our likelihood to raise defense spending. I only speak for my own party, of course. Thank you, my colleagues in congress, and Mr. President. John Blacker, PSPL Party Chairman Minister of Trade, and Industry |

| Message | Sadly at this point cutting spending would merely harm our nation more than help, raising taxes is the only way right now. |
