| The Core is the Engine of the Imperial Economy, and a region of unmitigated prosperity and industry, it stands as an example to the galaxy as a whole and is demonstrative of human superiority in this mighty galaxy under the rule of the Empire. Thus I propose a 5% tax rebate (for the next five years) to all worlds in the core to thank them for their continuing contribution to Imperial prosperity, and to stimulate further industry, growth and development in the beating heart of the Galaxy.
"A 15% tax increase will be applied to all worlds outside the core in order to fund this tax cut, so that the Imperial treasury is not hit by this most justified tax cut"

| Senator Ordan, would this rebate include colony worlds such as my own, Commenor, which are effectively core worlds based on their industrial and commercial output?

| I was about to ask the same question. I feel that it planet's as senator Entrente put, should be included.

| Absolutely not. I fail to see why these worlds deserve any kind of rebate for doing nothing except their jobs. If we start handing out incentives and tax breaks left, right and centre, then the credits you so tightly guard will slip away like silt on the tide, Senator Ordan. Might I remind you that you, yourself, voted against a perfectly innocent and patriotic bill on account of the cost being predictably too high? I'd like to see some official figures as to how much we'd be losing by giving back 5% of the tax we take from these worlds, along with any reason other than "they do what they're supposed to do" as to why they deserve it. We're an Empire, ladies and gentlemen. I think it high time we all remember that fact, and if these worlds take our refusal as a sign to cease production, fall behind, or rebel against the regime, then they should be brought back into line with whatever force is befitting of the situation.

| "Good to see your hypocracy has not deminished any Senator Ordan. As senator Lohden quite eloquently pointed out this is an interesting position for a man who would not vote for giving benefits to those who truly needed the credits and to whom the empire is actually indebted on the basis of expense now you come and propose a measure to cut more in taxes than my bill would have ever come close to doing just because a few planets are doing their jobs? I think not. I will be voting against this for the same reason Senator Lohden elaborated on a moment ago.

| Apologies. I have been rather remiss. I have left a hole in imperial funding by proposing this bill. I hope the senate will forgive this oversight. "a 15% tax increase will be applied to all worlds outside the core in order to fund this tax cut, so that the Imperial treasury is not hit by this most justified tax cut" Will be added to the bill.
Senator Hubert Ordan

| Pardon my language but HELL NO. You are not raising taxes for the Garos system to allow core planets a tax break. Are you out of your mind? Why would any non-core world representative agree to a tax hike on the people they represent so that a few can get a break? This is out landish like my decorum will be here pretty soon. Garos is complete AGAINST this. I will say it again. AGAINST. And Senator Ordan, whatever you are on, please pass some this way.

| Why not? We pay a heavier tax burden than any other region duento our dense populations. We subsidise your defence, we subsidise your other Imperial Services. The core deserves thanks for it's patriotism.

| Unfortunately I don't feel that I am able to vote in favour of this bill. While the core is the engine of the Imperial Economy it is unfair to grant it a reward at the expense of the rest of the Empire, filled as it is with hundreds of poorer worlds who need what funds they have to stimulate economic growth and development. So I must vote against.

| Its the people paying it. Sure the Core Worlds are some of the most densely populated but they are also some of the richest planets in the galaxy. You are given a tax cut to a very small portion of people while the others have to attempt to kick up the slack. We are talking about small outer-rim mining worlds, worlds where industry is just starting to pick up. For the good of the people I representate and those who I do not and their SEnators have failed them once again, I...we vote against this act. Give some relief to those planets who are struggling not to those who are doing well and historically have been doing well.

| For the first time in my career it seems, I am compelled to concur with Garos IV on this matter. We, as representatives of the Empire's worlds, cannot legalise this tax rebate at the expense of other often overlooked worlds, and I stand by my original statement; the worlds in question should not be given special treatment for doing their jobs. The tax they generate helps us to put into motion other, more immediate acts and bills, and to take back our losses from 'poorer worlds' as Senator Oriel puts it, will only have the effect of setting us back a generation. Under Imperial control, many worlds are just now starting to develop to a point where they are able to self-sustain, and possibly grow into something that will become more useful than the Core World productions if given half a chance. If we start imposing higher rates on them now, in order to subsidise these worlds for little or no reason, we will not be doing the Empire any favours.

| I must agree with Senator Lohden. As the representative of my planet, I have to do what's best for them, and what is best for the imperial senate. And raising taxes on world's that don't fall under the empire's jurisdiction would more then likely cause some enemies. I am NOT saying Anobis will betray, just stating facts.
