| Message | Doesn't seem fair to cut corporate taxes and raise essential tax. |
| Date | 01:28:09, August 18, 2005 CET | From | Kanjoran National Party | To | Debating the Tax Rates Bill 2097 |
| Message | Agreed. I cannot support such a bill. We should simply lower taxes without making it even more difficult for the average man and woman to put food on the table. |

| Date | 14:01:25, August 19, 2005 CET | From | Kanjoran People's Party | To | Debating the Tax Rates Bill 2097 |
| Message | SHP, you said "can't" did you mean we can? I on the other hand, am willing to try this. |
| Date | 15:18:36, August 19, 2005 CET | From | Nationalist Freedom Party | To | Debating the Tax Rates Bill 2097 |
| Message | KPP, I'm glad you realise, after looking into it yourself remotely, that low corporation taxes are good for the economy. |
| Date | 21:52:09, August 19, 2005 CET | From | Secular Humanist Party | To | Debating the Tax Rates Bill 2097 |
| Message | Yes, I meant "can" |
| Date | 04:11:10, August 20, 2005 CET | From | Kanjoran National Party | To | Debating the Tax Rates Bill 2097 |
| Message | Perhaps the author of this bill, or one of its proponents could present solid evidence that it would be beneficial to our economy. As much as I enjoy toying with our economy, and "trying" new things, this, perhaps, should be thought about. |
