| Message | Why? The rich and upper middle class population who are the one who buys luxury goods are already by far the most taxed income brackets,so why do you want to tax them even more? |
| Date | 00:53:59, March 27, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Luxury Tax Increase |
| Message | Because no one wants to increase the corporation taxes and we need to increase revenue for the post-war reparations. |

| Message | Are you guys aware that we had HUGE surpluses for probably 100 years? I don't think we need to worry about raising taxes - esp. when we're talking about such a paltry sum. |

| Message | If we just decrease the military budget which is about 60-65% of our total budget back to its prewar level we would have enough money to abolish both this tax and the corporate tax and still have a surplus for post-war reporations and a big surplus |
