| Message | Mr. Speaker, I find it laughable that the government refuses to lower the sales tax on the items bought by the poorest of citizens out of a sense of "fiscal responsibility" when it has decided that corporations deserve a lower tax rate than the people of Hutori! As a true fiscal responsibility party, the New Liberals want to eliminate the essential goods tax but pay for it from the surplus the Royalists so despise and an increase in the tax on the goods only the most wealthy can afford! Let us put people before profits! Rebecca Doyle MP for Prosperity Cove Deputy Leader & Chief Party Whip for the New Liberals |

| Message | Mr Speaker, As this bill does practice fiscal responsiblity and the increase in luxury tax will offset the elimination of essential goods tax, the Royalist Party will support this bill. Dylan Jourdain MP for Fairview Prosperity Minister of Finance |
