| Message | While we could agree to lowering the luxury tax, this would drain the income of the state too much. |
| Date | 13:12:46, August 21, 2005 CET | From | Partisans And Artisans League | To | Debating the Sales Tax Adjustment Act |
| Message | Yes but the point I'm making is that luxury and non-luxury should not have different rates. |

| Message | Then you could have proposed to raise the non-luxury tax as well. It would, at any rate, have been better for you to leave the bill in debate so we would have come to some sort of agreement on this important issue. |
