| Message | What is wrong with giving tax relief to the middle and lower classes. Absolutely nothing. |

| Message | It seems weird that the right wing of this Congress advocates for the creation of higher tax brackets and the reduction of taxes for the lowest brackets, while the left wing opposes it. We've rejected this because it would leave us running on a deficit, but I think many of you owe an explanation to your voters. |

| 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. |
