Message | Sure it does, it cuts the biggest tax of all. Poor people always support less taxation, since it hits them hardest. Besides, Beluzia's oldsters are doing plenty well w your minimum income laws... |

Message | So you want to take more money from their week to week paychecks? You want to heal a wound by pouring salt on it. |
