| Message | Mr Speaker, or shall I say myself, I propose that we implement the old tax system that was passed in 4135. We understand the need of taxing our citizens so that it can be used efficiently for social services, but is it necessary to tax the lower and middle class an inflated rate of 1000% cumulative percentage in tax? Can we not put more money into the pockets of hardworking ordinary Beluzians so that they can use it to benefit their families and to invest in our economy? What should be done is a tax system which taxes the millionaires and billionaires more so that there will be a further decrease in income inequality and a gradual shift towards the welfare state, which has so far been disintegrated by the NOU and their harmful paleoconservative agenda, which has so far promoted a minuscule government, tinier than rock candy, low spending which has resulted in a wave of immigration and influx in poverty and unemployment, nationalism promoting a supreme white race and a misinterpreted Beluzia First agenda which is anti-internationalism, anti-workers, anti-minorities, anti-immigration, anti-everything. Beluzia First should be a progressive movement that emphasises the need of solving climate change, at the same time safeguarding our nation's resources, a movement that should promote Beluzia's internationalist stance in the world through cooperation, not overreaching isolationism or through unnecessary wars that have caused debt and the deficit to increase and a movement that makes other nations feel comfortable with Beluzia being a leader in the world, not uncomfortable. I might have gone off topic here, Mr Speaker, or myself, but this is the reality that we see today. A president and a population that has somehow been able to by into the lies of the NOU and has created destruction to our great progressive nation. We condemn the 21,124,864 voters, or 38.17% of the voting population for going against your own beliefs and voting for a party who wants to implement a fascist state upon us all. To the masses, we tell you to stop buying into the lies of the NOU and to vote for real change in the next elections. Thank you and God Bless Beluzia. Dr Gabriel Florea A.P.S, B.A, M.Phil., LL.M.
