| Message | Essential goods? So you are adding to the cosst of basic goods, some of which those below the poverty line can barely afford now, you are proposing to add to their costs? By all means slap on a tax increase for luxury goods, but not for bread or childrens clothing. |
| Date | 19:04:03, December 10, 2006 CET | From | Socialistic democrats | To | Debating the Essential Goods Tax Act |
| Message | Yes we are. The money gained from this act can be used in many ways to make the lives of people below the poverty line better. And they will barely feel that anything has changed.. |
