| Message | We can't quite afford this yet while keeping the budget in the black. |
| Date | 18:00:16, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Tax Act 2433 |
| Message | Then maybe we should learn to trim the budget. |
| Date | 18:40:11, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Plutocratic Utopian Front | To | Debating the Tax Act 2433 |
| Message | We would only support this bill if we were confident it would not unbalance the budget, which government services do you intend on cutting? |
| Date | 19:32:27, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Tax Act 2433 |
| Message | The defense budget and the Health and Social Services budget are too large. Plus, if we decentralize more we will cut the budget even more. Perhaps we can also raise taxes in other areas. |
| Date | 20:10:42, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Tax Act 2433 |
| Message | Ridiculous, the Progressive Liberal Party will vote against any cut in health and social service. You want to help the poor by denying them health care and social help? Then we have an other definition of help then you have. |
| Date | 22:13:11, July 24, 2007 CET | From | Gao-Showa Imperial Party | To | Debating the Tax Act 2433 |
| Message | We think the size of the budget is fine, lets wait a few years for the economy to expand enough for us to be able to afford this. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
