| Message | The Defence funding budget. What price can we put on our own safety? P.S This is a TEMPORARY budget just until the war is solved to fund defence. I will repeal it the second the war ends, for now I urge the house to adopt this spending system, what price do you put on this country's safety? |

| Message | You have just proposed a tax cut in the area of essential goods with the justification, "the war is a farce". Now you are saying that this MUST be passed for the country's safety. Could the government please confirm their position regarding this war. The only farce seems to be the government. |

| Message | And besides, we've managed perfectly well up to now with a smaller income. Why does it need increasing thus? |
| Date | 16:04:27, May 05, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Union Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of July 2399 |
| Message | The reason we proposed this is because we don't want the government sponging money off the VAT tax. What price can you put on your safety? |

| Message | If we don't pass this bill the country will be in a terrible deficit. This bill is vital! |

| Message | You should plan things out before you make rash proposals, and then realise you don't have the money to do so. Absolutely absurd practice from the Treasury, and we cannot believe that the CDA are trusting their fellow conservative party with the pockets of this nation. |

| Message | That's rich coming from one of the worst in history. Ronald "Famine Starter" Clarke. |
| Date | 19:13:48, May 05, 2007 CET | From | Conservative-Libertarian Party (UM) | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of July 2399 |
| Message | We completely denounce that there was ever a famine. Such a claim is ridiculous. If we had been responsible for starting a famine, we highly doubt that the CDA would have appointed us to the Finance Ministry during the war. It must also be remembered that your two soon-to-be coalition partners supported our budget. |

Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
