| Message | We feel following current events, an increase is due. Thirty-four is a nice round number, higher than thirty-three, and probably wider, too. |
| Date | 19:34:53, November 20, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Workers' Party and CTUL List | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | We ardently support this bill. |
| Date | 21:03:07, November 20, 2007 CET | From | Söhne der Freiheit | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | We're already running a surplus, this is a ridiculous proposal. |
| Date | 22:49:02, November 20, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | This seems ideal. |
| Date | 23:30:48, November 20, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | ADAMANTLY, ADAMANTLY, ADAMANTLY oppose!!! We cannot vote to RAISE taxes on the GOOD people of Likatonia. |
| Date | 23:36:49, November 20, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | The people of Likatonia want a country they can be proud of. They have shown, over and over again, that they are not unwilling to pay some little something towards that. Why does the CWFP hate Likatonia so much? |
| Date | 00:04:25, November 21, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | We are disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm for Bill 34. We feel 34 has so much relevance in todays society, and we are saddened that this is not being recognised. |
| Date | 14:34:08, November 21, 2007 CET | From | Söhne der Freiheit | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | This debate has been wholly without substance and wholly undemocratic. Shame on all parties voting in favor of a proposal which will give the government increased revenue when they are already running a surplus. This is an outrage. |
| Date | 19:07:39, November 21, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | Surely increasing surplus is better than depleting resources? We'd rather have a million too many LIK in the treasury, than a million too few. The FRP 'arguments' are without merit. We feel bad even referring to them as 'arguments'. |
| Date | 06:07:11, November 22, 2007 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the Adjusted Tax Protocol '34' |
| Message | Is the FRP condemning the democratic process? For shame. We are no fan of this democracy either, but while it operates we will abide by the decisions of the convocation, until such time as we can establish our new order. |
