| Message | I really would like to hear something from the government. If they make profit, why shouldn't they pay taxes? People of Darnussia deserve to know. |
| Date | 16:42:54, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Religious Taxing Bill |
| Message | For the Conservative Party (recognized) religions are not companies. Instead, they're crucial, deeply rooted and respectful social institutions in Darnussian society, acting at the community level. As such, we believe that they should get all possible support from the Government of Darnussia (not being taxed as if they were companies). No way. |
