| Message | this seems like a very good bill to start some taxing so some money comes back to make our nation even better. |
| Date | 09:00:49, February 12, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Reformation of the National Budget |
| Message | We would tentatively support this, the relatively high corporation tax is perhaps justified by the lack of need for companies to then contribute to an income tax. |

| Message | In principle, we oppose any and all taxes, so a 0% tax is perfect. In practise, 0% taxation may be unreasonable if we wish to maintain a stable government. Well, since we have no seats at the moment, our vote will have no effect on the outcome, so we are free to vote with our principles instead of with practicality. |

| Message | you have also contradicted your self, in one of your bills you say that you want religious establishments to be taxed, here you say that you are opposed to all taxes |

| Message | Of course no taxes means no money, which is why I'm glad that my vote on this issue does not matter. Of course, a good government doesn't do anything, and thus doesn't need money. And on the contrary, I want religious organizations to be taxed equally to non-religious organizations. This is completely compatible with the idea that everyone go untaxed. Less tax is better than more tax, and equal tax is better than unequal tax. How is that contradictory? |
