1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly cause harm but promotes a partisan view, which may polarize rather than unify.
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The image uses public figures to make a political point, which is common in political discourse, but it should be careful not to misrepresent or disrespect individuals.
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement promotes understanding of tax policy changes but does so in a partisan manner, which may not foster empathy or compassion across political divides. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in personal attacks but contrasts political achievements, which is typical in political discourse.
