| Message | These measures are totally subversive. The SLP is just starting to show its incoherence. We disagree with the register os animals with the local government: that's just useless bureaucracy. Also, we don't see why should the government fund recycling facilites. Recycling should not be mandatory nor should have the government anything to do with it. The SLP Government is starting to show its incoherence: first it proposed a tax reducution on corporation's profit. Now, it proposed a tax increase with no plausible justification. And we could proceed enumerating the SLP incoherences. |

| Message | Subversive? Subversion is in an attempt to overthrow a legally constituted government. We ARE the legally constituted government. Incoherence? We have always defended a progressive tax system. We feel that adjusting corporate tax to 10% will provide is with necessary revenue minimizing the burden on those who are most vulnerable. Our party proposed decreasing corporate tax by 50% over 6 years ago. A responsible government is required to raise or lower taxes when the economic conjecture calls for it. Anything else is populism. Animal registration is necessary to control animal populations and to avoid public health calamities. The Social Liberal Party also disagrees with your views on the environment. |
