| Date | 03:38:02, August 07, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | I think the tax should be 0. Let the people decide how to spend their own money. |
| Date | 03:47:46, August 07, 2005 CET | From | Social Conservatives. | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | Yes, but we need a moderate amount of lowering the tax, not a rapid amount. |
| Date | 06:24:18, August 07, 2005 CET | From |  Federation Under Crazy Killers -- United | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | It should be 0, but I'll vote yes since it at least lowers it. |
| Date | 15:42:07, August 07, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | This is a way of funding the government without needlessly taxing the common citizen. If corporations are treated as individuals in law (and they are) they should be treated with income taxes and other community taxes. |
| Date | 19:23:20, August 07, 2005 CET | From | Social Conservatives. | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | Who hires the individuals, the individuals themself, or the corporation? |
| Date | 20:35:06, August 07, 2005 CET | From | Federation Under Crazy Killers -- United | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | But you do tax the citizens. If you raise the costs for the corporation, they will charge more for their products/services. |
| Date | 18:12:31, August 08, 2005 CET | From | Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Real Tax Relief |
| Message | Or, if you tax individuals, they can't afford the products (as many). Either way, they sell less, it doesn't matter |
