| Message | Sorry but we don't believe in unnessasarily increasing taxes. Re: Our comment on why a raise in expenditure is also unnessasary. |

| Message | Use some common sense this is still in debate mode so for after the election it will accompany the new legislation introduced after the election. |

| Message | This is better than the last one. There are very many brackets here as well. As we have proposed in the Taxes and Spending Committee, there should be three or four brackets with a slightly more than moderately steep progression. The solution we proposed there was not good, though. There should probably be one more bracket in the high end. |
| Date | 10:41:10, September 08, 2007 CET | From | Swamp Party | To | Debating the Responsible Income Tax Proposal of October 2451 |
| Message | This is a major tax increase on the Mordusian middle class, our base of support, and therefore we would not support this measure. |

| Message | This would all be for the welefare good being of the people, compared to the rest of the world these are not high taxes it's just that we are not used to for the past years giving and then society giving back. |

| Message | of course 43 percent on the rich will break them to the bones, this is not socialistic in any way, OOC: Other European countries have a tax rate like this and they are breaking under the pressure. |
