| Message | As we have privatized the health industry, we've cut Health and Social Services appropriations. As we are not giving subsidies to farms and less subsidies overall, we've cut the Food and Agriculture Department and Trade and Industry Ministry appropriations. As we nearly were at war, we've increased our Defense Appropriation. As for internal affairs, as we've privatized many things, they don't need as much money. As for Education, we already give a disproportional amount of money to education when compared to other nations, so a tiny cut should not be a problem. |

| Message | We will only support this scheme of backlash if people paid a proportionel tax. We have long had a surplus in the budget, but making this 200 billion is crazy. Either the people should pay a little more than 350 billion in tax or the budget should be raised with minimum 150 billion. Why would the state only spend 2/3 of what it receives in taxes? This is overburdening the people. James Summersdale, jr - Minister of Internal Affairs |

| Message | Then we will lower taxes. We don't need so much money. |
| Date | 02:41:14, April 02, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2554 |
| Message | We plan to eliminate the corporate tax. |
