Anna: Government can't get money easily but needs much money for reducing national debt and introducing Apollon, for example, Sunflower Festival.

Alex: She needs money for her son's education.

Disagree
Rie: It makes gap between low income people and high ones and it is not fare. Also, it may cause defletion. Why don't we introduce corporation tax or income tax?

Amy: She is a doctor, so when she buys big medical instruments, it costs a lot. Also, our income won't change so if we introduce sales tax system, our burden increase.

Rachel: If we introduce sales tax system, low income people have difficulty to live. Aslo, she worries that tourists may decrease because of high tax.

Final comment
I got confused from the meaning of sales tax and consumption tax. I didn't know that there were tax system besides income tax and sales tax. I think those two systems are the most important so I agree with introducing them, but they needed more imformation. As Rovert said, their discussion sometimes stuck. I couldn't get what they really wanted to say.
