| Message | I'll support it if you downgrade it to "There shall be a minimum wage at a level that a single full time worker on it can adequately subsist." |
| Date | 19:48:08, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | We don't need a minimum wage...we already give citizens a universal basic income. |
| Date | 22:32:56, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Kirlawa Green Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | yes a "very basic" income, but we need incentives for people to get a job. By giving them a higher minimum income we provide such an incentive |
| Date | 22:52:59, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Theofascist Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | Cutting the basic income at a certain point would also form such an incentive. :) |

| Message | I agree with WDP |
| Date | 23:23:06, September 29, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | I agree with this. I understand that without some sort of basic guarntee of income people are better of not working. |

| Message | yes of course it would also be an incentive. But another kind of incentive: what you're proposing would send people right into poverty if they just can't find a job. What I'm proposing is an incentive to have more money when you work (20% netto, so if the basic income is 500 $ a month, they would get 600 $ minimum by working, a big incentive in my honest opinion) |

| Message | Okay. I will not do difficult to you this time |
| Date | 22:27:58, October 02, 2005 CET | From | Golden Age Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | Acceptable enough. |
| Date | 02:35:00, October 03, 2005 CET | From | Federalist Labour Party | To | Debating the Minimum Wage |
| Message | NO! to government wage fixing, it should be up to the working class, not the government and corporation owners. |
