| Message | We just passed this taxation resolution (last month!) by a vote of 441 to 174. It's hardly become suddenly necessary to reopen this debate. Secondly, it is hardly regressive to tax luxury goods. It is far more harmful to the economy to heavily tax businesses. We believe that the current taxation rates are justified and should stand. This proposal should be defeated. Floyd Kalisa Aloughren, MP (Luxon-Nickel Belt) TDP Finance Critic |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
