Message | We will not vote for something that will throw the country into debt to a tune of 12 million annually. |
Date | 00:00:17, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | This will not. We currently have a 36 billion SEK surplus, which will increase after our most recent budget proposal. |

Message | ::cough:: 38.7 billion SEK surplus. |
Date | 00:38:20, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Peasant Party Of Sekowo | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | This tax cut does much more for the wealthy than it does for the working people of this country. We would support tax cuts to the lower brackets but not to the higher. While the 5% tax cut to the poor is important. The 8% tax cut to mid-higher incomes and 5% to extremely wealthy does not have any justification. |

Message | There is no tax cuts for working people just above poverty line though. |
Date | 05:08:07, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | The tax structure makes no sense. A person earning 70k a year gets less than a person earning 60k a year. How the heck does that work? |
Date | 05:15:58, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | Ignoring PPS nonsensical proclamations of what it does for the "working" people, the CP will propose a bill that the Minister of Finance must offer a reasonable income tax structure and not the communistic approach. Any simple individual can do the math and see that the current tax structure does not make sense. Just the CP's two unjustly taxed two cents. |
Date | 23:42:04, February 15, 2008 CET | From | Peasant Party Of Sekowo | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | We would agree with a progressive taxation system. We agree the current system is flawed but this is not an improvement. |
Date | 00:46:59, February 16, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of January 2532 |
Message | a few notes: PPS, tax cuts for the wealthy are minimal; 5% tax cuts for one (very small) group, and 2% tax increase for another wealthy group. The primary thing here is the 5% tax cut for the poor. CP: If you'll notice, the tax system that this is meant to replace suffers from the exact same problem. This is an improvement, however. I have already noticed the problem you pointed out, and planned on correcting it in the next income tax proposal. |
