| Message | Keep in mind that this is more revenue than we currently generate. Unttimatley, I would like to completely remove the income tax to keep our government, honest, low-spending, and not to rape Beluzian’s of their hard-earned income. |

| Message | Forgot to add: to compensate for the possible removal of income tax in the future, I would propose that we would have to revamp property taxes, sales taxes, implement protectionist tariffs. This plan, I believe, would render most taxes obsolete as we would generate enough revenue this way. |

| Message | The far-left bloc of "NO" have been reduced to merely defending existing big government legislation without gaining any electoral ground and in the process have cornered themselves from contributing any RP outside of that. Even some of their characters are the same as they were 200 years ago. As such Liberty expect never ending inconclusive elections in the near future and more players leaving as the game is reduced to a pure "seats in parliament to block" exercise. I have RP ideas but i am not going to waste my time creating them in the soviet union - socialism kills innovation. So, I ask more moderate parties to form a new block so we can push some pro-free enterprise legislation and build a country up. |
