| Message | Relativamente à taxação dos lucros das várias igrejas, é imperativo que, principalmente por motivos de controlo de fuga ao fisco, se execute uma política mais severa. É irresponsável permitir a criação desregulada de religiões, sem controlo fiscal na República. Evitemos, de raíz, fenómenos deliquentes como a IURD e afins, que dilaceram a população mais incauta das suas posses, e o Estado nas suas barbas, com o consentimento deste. |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
