| Message | I think that make cuts on the public services is a tragical error. |
| Date | 16:35:52, May 15, 2008 CET | From | Boston Tea Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2576 |
| Message | These aren't "cuts". The Communist "revolutionaries" simply taxed 100% of the income of every Ikradonian and then applied it to the budget. This is not realistic. In conjunction with the tax proposal I brought forward, this budget spends most of our taxed income on the services important to Ikradon, while also leaving a small amount (I think about 4 billion IKD) surplus for emergencies and building a cash reserve. |

| Message | A budget surplus? Are you trying to shred our economy? Hardly the best way to smooth the transition to a free market is it... |
| Date | 14:28:03, May 16, 2008 CET | From | Boston Tea Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2576 |
| Message | Did you notice how tiny the surplus is? It is less than 0.5% of the total income. Your argument has no basis in reality, just like your policies and your "revolution". |

| Message | Does the phrase "reverse multiplier effect" mean nothing to you? It appears you are the one detached from reality. |
| Date | 15:04:06, May 17, 2008 CET | From | Boston Tea Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2576 |
| Message | Speak for yourself about detachment from reality, thanks. |

| Message | Nice to see you putting the effort in to try and produce a decent argument... |
