| Message | The sales tax is far too high. Sales tax generally effects the poorer and middle income members of society more than the rich or the corporations, because people still want luxury goods and will continue to pay the tax at prohibitively high levels. We believe corporation tax should be around 7-8%. |
| Date | 22:45:28, July 11, 2006 CET | From | Mjesrne | To | Debating the Economics Bills,2252 |
| Message | High taxes stifle incentive to work, low taxes mean little for the government. A balance must be found between what you take and how much the people have incentive to earn if you wish to tax and spend. |
