| Message | We already have a good tax policy. If you raise the taxes you are going to cripple our economy. |
| Date | 01:56:44, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Free Party Of My House | To | Debating the Progressive tax bill |
| Message | Corporate tax in developed countries is usually around 15%, a mere 7% won't hurt our economy, and the luxury goods tax will improve the equally. |
| Date | 02:19:55, November 11, 2007 CET | From | People's Progressive Party | To | Debating the Progressive tax bill |
| Message | Luxury goods tax needs to go DOWN significantly, not up. |
| Date | 07:37:52, November 11, 2007 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Progressive tax bill |
| Message | First, the luxury tax is nonsense. It would have been much lower, except that we would be running a nasty deficit if it were so. Our continued privatization efforts would allow us to accomplish this, if only there weren't so many time consuming objections to our plans. Second, the corporate tax was once a ridiculous 16%, yet we made suprisingly little income from it. Raising it would be largely pointless. Our Minister of Finance, Tomonori Inoue, and his associates went to great lengths to create Dorvik's new tax policy; it would be impolite to question their judgement. |

| Message | The FPMH has to see that our economy is still recovering from past events when even one of the major Dorvish industries was closed and thousands lost their jobs. This is definitely not the moment to raise taxes unless you wish to become known as the "Dorvish Unemployment Party". |
