| Message | If you make 30,000 LOD a year you extremly rich (the richest tax bracket is 7,500 lod+), so the amount should be lowered alot. Also rember this is lodamun, not america, so please try to not call our citizens americans :) |

| Message | While we would support this in theory, we'd rather you make it conform to the game (like the LLP mentioned, this is Lodamun, and our currency is not dollars). |

| Message | OOC: 30,000 LOD will be somewhere around 400,000 U.S dollars. I agree with LLP's statement but I also think there is no need for such framework. We only provide assistance to people without jobs and course those who are retired. |

| Message | OOC: Actually I think 30,000 LOD is way more than 400k US dollar, since the richest tax bracket is 7,500 LOD, and 30,000 LOD is more than 4 times that amount, so I would think its several million USD |
| Date | 22:41:30, July 09, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Social Security Check |
| Message | OOC: The richest tax bracket for the U.S is1.3 + million dollars, so I think you are right. |
