| Message | Look we are willing to negotiate on both sides the spectrum - we say down to 25% to have a happy medium - im holding off until our previous motions are passed - if we are to lower this we are to ensure adequate resources are available. |

| Message | Reducing this tax is not about need - it is about rewarding those hard working taxpayers, for too long they have been under the pressure by socialist policies that see their money dissapear into the states coffers. Dont you think we should reward people? |

| Date | 19:42:15, November 29, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Sales Tax Reduction Act |

| Date | 02:38:39, December 02, 2007 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Sales Tax Reduction Act |
| Message | It may be a luxury good - but people deserve luxuries from time to time - otherwise what is the point in working hard contributing to society via taxes. The National Conservative Party believes that the people of this great nation have worked extremely hard to bring about a decent economy therefore it is our responsibility and legislators to ensure we keep this up by rewarding the people this luxury. |

| Message | You have to understand, I oppose income tax. We have to get $ from somewhere tho, so why not discourages vices like diamonds and liquor? |
| Date | 07:30:42, December 02, 2007 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Sales Tax Reduction Act |
| Message | i oppose income tax as well - however policies in which I have put forward previously in which members of this place opposed (Workforce Participation and Welfare Reform) would have helped considerably in this situation. Nevertheless I believe our economy is in a stable state to reduce the luxury tax. I would be happy for it to be reduced until after the next election. And you will have my guarantee that I will support any move to increase it. Give the people of this nation a break!!! |
| Date | 20:30:26, December 02, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Sales Tax Reduction Act |
| Message | As a gesture of goodwill towards the NCP, the People will support this temporary reduction. |
