Message | The same arguments apply as in the previous taxation bill. This will be the one that we put to the vote however, and hope it is more acceptable to the RDF! |
Date | 23:39:19, June 26, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2597 |
Message | We thought that you would put the lower limit for tax paying in 3000 RUT income, not 2500 RUT... Except this, everything else is acceptable :) |

Message | If we vote this through, we will change it to 3,000 RUT. Apologies for the mistake! |

Message | This is the most unacceptable proposal of all the proposals currently before Congress. The government would now actively be participating in reducing the disposable incomes of all people and thus reduce the ability of the people to make rational decisions about what to and what not to purchase for their own means and benefits. We will not support such an unreasonable hike. |

Message | Well, NPP didn't vote :-) |
