| Message | We oppose. We shouldn't take well earned money from corporations only to waste it on museums and education. They are perhaps already taxed too high. |
| Date | 01:13:08, October 26, 2007 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Corporation Tax Reform |
| Message | Corporations good. Museums and libraries bad. Under the vision of the Puritanical Party our Commonwealth would be a bleak place indeed. |
| Date | 01:55:53, October 26, 2007 CET | From | Puritanical Party | To | Debating the Corporation Tax Reform |
| Message | We don't see museums and libraries as bad, but we have a problem when they require public funds. Any good library or museum should be privately owned and capable of sustaining itself. |
| Date | 02:55:36, October 26, 2007 CET | From | Wessex High Imperial Party | To | Debating the Corporation Tax Reform |
| Message | The UU party urges our brothers and sisters to vote for the three related bills offered by us: increased government spending on libraries; increased public spending on museums; increasing the tax base on corporations to help pay for these educational, humanistic necessities. |
