| Message | jesus christ. 30%?! I support article 1, think article 2 should be 0, and luxury goods should be going DOWN 25 instead... |

| Message | Perhaps. These figures are open to negotiation. However, we've also reduced the income tax for all brackets, so the shortfall has to come from somewhere, or else we'll have to resort to some very nasty deficit spending. |

| Message | We'll play with the numbers for a bit and see what we can do. |

| Message | Let's try Corporation's Tax at 10 and Luxuries' Tax at 25 without a change in the essential goods tax. Do we got surplus from that? |

| Message | Well now I feel much better about this proposal. The numbers are much better. |

| Message | Sorry to disappoint you, we had to change the luxury tax to a much less desirable number. As a consolation, our income tax levels are much better. |

| Message | We are glad to hear such good news coming from the Ministry of Finance. We would like to congratulate Mr. Tomonori Inoue for this wonderful job! We are ready to vote now! |
| Date | 23:07:22, October 22, 2007 CET | From | Dorvik Socialist Party | To | Debating the Tax Revision Proposal |
| Message | Corporation Tax is too low, maybe it would be better at 8-10 %. In its current state, we won't support this bill. |
