| Message | We support. It will give a break to the middle and lower class again and FINALLY give a break to the rich who deserve it just as much as anybody. |
| Date | 00:11:53, June 06, 2007 CET | From |  Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | 20 ALO for our poorest is hardly life-destroying. Looking at our projections (http://tuxnet.v.servelocity.net/aloria_tax1.png) from our tax software (OOC: http://tuxnet.v.servelocity.net/code/tax.py :D), this should give tax relief at all levels. As such, we approve. |
| Date | 19:04:58, June 06, 2007 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | No. This would create a major deficit, not a workable one. |
| Date | 23:15:41, June 06, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | This tax system would create a deficit too large to sustain. |
| Date | 00:08:02, June 07, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Libertarian Party (NoCoalition) | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | Not if the spending bill the MLP proposed passes. |
| Date | 02:27:49, June 07, 2007 CET | From | Party Royale | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | Well, as that bill is currently being defeated by a wide margin, we feel that this bill is irresponsible. |

| Date | 18:13:38, June 07, 2007 CET | From | Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | The PR clearly meant your spending bill. |
| Date | 04:19:30, June 10, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the Income Tax Reduction Act of 2413 |
| Message | In light of the spending decrease we cannot support this bill which we would have is certain parties had not have disagreed. |
