| Date | 07:19:04, September 14, 2008 CET | From |  Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2636 |
| Message | We propose that Trade and Industry spending is reduced by 45 billion crowns for the good of this country; it is not government policy to subsidize businesses or trading at all, and the settling of industrial disputes should be left to private companies and if the Government does intervene, we do not believe it should be via cash injections. The money would be better used if it was returned in tax cuts to the low income earners, the poorest of our nation who are robbed of a portion of their already small money supply. I think also that the businessmen of this country who although should not be subjected to subsidies, should get some form of tax relief. |
| Date | 10:32:14, September 14, 2008 CET | From | First Party Of Hobrazia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2636 |
| Message | We would be concerned with what happens to those companies that are under state ownership |
| Date | 12:06:38, September 14, 2008 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2636 |
| Message | We would also like to ask why there have been no increases to the funding for other departments? With the large surplus that this bill will generate we would like to see plans for how it would be used. We also repeat the First Party's concerns about how the remaining state owned companies will be funded. |
| Date | 12:07:34, September 14, 2008 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2636 |
| Message | Your intention is to reduce spending on trade and industry, which includes international trade and advertising, and the intention is the improvement of business provision? We would also point out that no-one in this nation receives direct taxation until they are earning in advance of 20,000HCR. Low income earners already receive negligible taxation, and tax cuts, should they be currently necessary, can already be covered by current spending patterns. |
| Date | 06:09:30, September 15, 2008 CET | From | Classical Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2636 |
| Message | OOC: Sorry, I didn't know the exchange rate of the Hobrazian crown IC: We will privatise all state assets that will be affected as you say by the spending cuts, and we Conservatives do not believe in an economy where the state is responsible for international trade and advertising. Also we think that tax on high-income earners is extortionate;. |
