| Message | Why do the Socialists wish to increase taxes? |
| Date | 16:48:35, April 03, 2007 CET | From | United People's Socialist Party | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |

| Message | What about the small-time shareholders who are investing for retirement? An increase in corporation tax will take money out of their pockets as well. Not to mention that increasing taxes on business will hinder growth; we would prefer lower taxes & more jobs, rather than higher welfare budgets. |

| Message | why should anyone benefit from "social services"? This is insane; one rewards the downstat whilst penalising the upstat. people but be given true freedom to work, to produce and to take responsibility for their own conditions. |

| Date | 00:08:39, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Fascist Zealotry League | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | The people are not to be trusted with making their own way in life. They need constant attention and guidance, much like a newborn baby, with the odd little fascist whisper left lingering in their ears. |
| Date | 11:17:58, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Pro Grain Club | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | An increase in corperation tax will drive down investment, see thousand dumped on the unemployment list and harm our economy. This will hurt the SME's much more than the big companies who can afford to take such a hit. |
| Date | 13:50:28, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Fascist Zealotry League | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | Since when did the Welsh actually give a damn about dumping thousands on the unemployment market? Just ask the people of Belminster how "caring" the CoG really is! |
| Date | 16:50:41, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Pro Grain Club | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | How about asking the estimated 467,000 non-Welsh currently working for Welsh companies? |
| Date | 21:59:15, April 04, 2007 CET | From | Fascist Zealotry League | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | You clearly consider these half a million subserviant "Uncle Toms" to be more important than the town you wrecked financially. It's quite clear to us why your party remains languishing in the polls when you display this kind of elitist attitude. |
| Date | 13:26:20, April 05, 2007 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the Socialist Reform Bill X |
| Message | The only way people will have the true responsibility, civility, intelligence and ethic level required to create an advanced state of being is once they have achieved the much desired State of Clear. Whilst people suffer from the irrationality and emotional barriers created by their Reactive Mind, this society is doomed. |

| Message | ..well, it would look a damn sight healthier if the Welsh were marched into the gas chambers again. One step at a time Theta. |
