| Message | This new tax policy will help make our republic more egalitarian and gives the government revenues to pay for important programs. It does not lead to excessive taxation. The total 50,000,000,000 is only 1 2/3% of the GDP of Cildania |

| Date | 05:08:19, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Union for a Responsible Republic | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 2430 |
| Message | We oppose this bill. As we said, we do not need tax increases at this time. There needs to be a period of evaluation and discussion about budget priorities and needs before we start removing capital from the marketplace. |
| Date | 15:57:40, July 19, 2007 CET | From | Reform Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 2430 |
| Message | Well, the capital isn't really being removed. It's just a temporary leakage that fuels injections known as government spending. |
| Date | 15:25:29, July 20, 2007 CET | From | Reform Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 2430 |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
