| Date | 13:58:46, October 27, 2007 CET | From | Centre Démocratique | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of August 2476 |
| Message | I do not think the working class nor the middle class are deserving of a tax increase, just as the upper class does not need a tax cut. This is illogical. |

| Message | Flat tax? We prefer to call it the "fair tax". |

| Message | Why flat tax is unfair? Because poor or low income families pay the same taxes % of high income families. By the way, if a family has 27,000JEL income per year,the tax is 2,700JEL.So they have 24,300 JEL per year and they have to manage food,wearing, their children school and other needs. On the other side, a family who have 120,000JEL income per year, have to pay 12,000JEL. Their funds will be 108,000JEL to manage(!) the same needs. Now, please tell me,is it fair? Your proposal want to raise taxes of low and middle class and reduce those of high class. But this is not a surprise for me, the unbeleavable thing is to call it fair |

| Message | So if someone makes more money, we take more money away from them? Why then make more money, if the government is only going to take it away? The disincentives for work are huge with a graduated tax system. |

| Message | Aye, Lib-Gov, are you suggesting that everyone should have the same final income, regardless of how well educated they are? |

| Message | No I don't JKK. But let me know why low class and middle class people have to pay more taxes and high class people less then the current legislation |
