| Message | "You can't do this unless you can pass new taxes, which you have not, and can pass a budget which allows for it, which you also have not achieved, otherwise this bill is entirely irresponsible." -Henry Perceval, Duke of Lawlborough, Directory Member |
| Date | 18:36:18, December 09, 2007 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Universal Healthcare |
| Message | "Perhaps establishing some social programs will get Mr. Perceval to refrain from his policy of slashing taxes left and right in the future. One cannot vote down numerous attempts to increase taxes, then chide another for being fiscally irresponsible on the grounds that there are not sufficient taxes to pay for necessary social programs. That's reactionary logic at its best." -Karl von Friedricht, First Secretary of the Revolutionary Socialist Party |
| Date | 01:45:08, December 10, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Universal Healthcare |
| Message | "I cannot speak on behalf of the Cavalier Party, but my party is dedicated to low taxes and giving the health care industry the benefits of competition. We vote against your efforts to tax the shirt of the back of Zardugalies and to take away individuals right to choose what hospital and insurance plan they entrust with their health care. Therefore, it's perfectly logical for my party to vote against this bill as it would, along with the reasons I've listed above, require dramatically higher taxes, which my party will not support." ~Wade Kravant, Minister of Health and Social Welfare |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
