| Message | I'm in favor of tax cuts, but the sharp increase on those earning over 5000 LOD is less than desirable. Perhaps we should consider an across-the-board tax cut. |
| Date | 15:30:44, September 23, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Autonomous Republican Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of February 2459 |
| Message | None of the changes are increases, the >5000 tax remains what it has been for some time. |
