| Date | 16:20:07, January 16, 2008 CET | From | Ancient and Noble Order of the Cavaliers | To | Debating the Economic Programme X - Low Taxes! |
| Message | "That's precisely why I have not pressed this bill to the floor for a vote, as of yet. Until the nation's finances are untangled, then we cannot reasonably un-do these taxes. However, it is of the utmost importance to the economy that the nation's finances are straightened and these taxes be abolished." -Lord Yarmouth, Directory Member, Shadow Minister of Finance |

| Message | We disagree except for the corporation taxes. We think that things like this should wait until the whole of the tax plan can be implemented. |

| Message | *a quiet, airy sigh* The Daio Party has a full economic plan that can be implemented only when we take over the Ministry of Finance. We must have all the data before we begin the program to improve our economic situation. Do please leave this to us. We know what we are doing. |
