| Message | This legislation is ignorant beyond description by any words in the english, or in any other language. We have never encountered a more rediculous proposal, and the fact that more than one party supports it is an indicator that more than one party has absolutely no idea of . If the parties of this nation want to single-handedly destroy our economy in a matter of weeks or even days, this is the best place to start. We will, quite literally, have no economy. Our nation will be plunged into poverty. We are convinced that the TF, the KLT, and the DLP are all completely insane, and we now strongly suspect that they want to destroy our country from the inside. If this legislation passes, we will pursue legal action against the parties involved. We see that the putrid communist plague has infested this country. It has crept from the dark, vile pits and begun its epedemic, infecting all it touches and pledging to twist this country into a bottomless pit of poverty and deprivation. We will do anything in our power to oppose the TF and ensure that they never gain support again. How they managed to secure 83 seats is well and truly beyond us. |

| Message | This doesn't make any sense, what is the purpose of destroying the economy and taxing the people so heavily? |
| Date | 15:43:25, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Obshestvo Stroiteley Terri | To | Debating the Socialist Taxation Plan |
| Message | The purpose is one and alone - we want Waffle Harry to leave the throne and we want cabinet that is supported by more than 50% of Duma, otherwise it is totally wrong... |
| Date | 15:44:28, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Partija Kontr-Revoljucionerov | To | Debating the Socialist Taxation Plan |
| Message | By destroying the nation? Surely that is totally wrong? |

| Message | It is your brinkmanship that will destroy the nation. Seeing as you have removed legitimate democratic channels of reform, we are forced into unorthodox methods. Clearly you would rather remain the dictator of a ruined nation, rather than participate in the democratic governance of a prosperous nation. Your choice. |
| Date | 16:26:28, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Partija Kontr-Revoljucionerov | To | Debating the Socialist Taxation Plan |
| Message | There is no dictatorship, and we are not opposing the motion to change cabinets. Furthermore the current opposition is making it pretty damn clear that they do not wish to work with the government, and have never spoken of compromise or discussion, but have simply rammed through their idiotic budgets. The opposition talks of revolution and overthrowing the current constitutional set up, all on the basis of a 13 seat majority after an extraordinary election which saw two new parties emerge. |
| Date | 17:17:05, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Kommunisticheskiy Komitet Rabochih | To | Debating the Socialist Taxation Plan |
| Message | Having an unnaccountable, unelected and undemocratic executive branch is classed as a dictatorship in my eyes. |
| Date | 17:30:31, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Korporatsia Ignatova | To | Debating the Socialist Taxation Plan |
| Message | And, indeeed a nigh-on unaccountable and completely unelected and undemocratic government. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
