Message | The rich get off lightly enough as it is already. This proposal not only goes against social justice, but will also give Luthori a gaping budget deficit. |
Date | 01:34:27, January 14, 2007 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Tax Act |
Message | We were put in a deficit by your last spending bill. You care nothing of it apparantly. Less taxes and less spending is the only Christian way. |

Date | 01:51:07, January 15, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Tax Act |

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). |
