    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Pukose is doubting my capacity on this one. Let me begin by indicating that I support the petitioners. They have picked out an item that is reminding me the history of France before the revolution. There were three estates: The first estate was the clergy; second estate was the nobility; and, the third estate were the commoners. The commoners were the only ones who paid taxes. The first estate and second estate never paid taxes. Finally, the economy crumbled and that is how they got the revolution. We cannot go that direction. Therefore, I support this Petition. The first and second presidents and other incoming presidents should pay taxes. Interestingly, they are the ones who have many estates. The Chairperson of the Committee is here. When looking at this also consider taxing idle land in this country. The entire education system of America is paid for by the rent and taxes charged on idle land and it works magic. So, let us not have a classified society. I support the petitioners. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
