| Message | With us running a deficit, now is not the time to be slashing taxes for the people that can afford to pay the most taxes. |

| Message | I would love to see this bill pass, but with a liberal big government party, and three conservative big government parties, theres no way it will work. Valiant attempt though... just keep voting and proposing, you'll end up with some seats. |

| Message | Actually, being part of the socially conservative big-government parties (**grin**), we like the tax cuts. As Chancellor, I would like to call for cuts in spending with an increase in spending for the military. We'll balance this budget! Not sure we really care for Article 2, however. |

| Message | "Valiant attempt though... just keep voting and proposing, you'll end up with some seats." Thank you for your encourgament, sir. I think that our government has grown to be too big, which is why I included a small measure for cost cutting in Article 2. The government should NOT be involved at all in the media, except to regulate it here and then as said in national law. |

| Message | What the fear is here is that Radio and TV might spiral out of control with media companies willing to put ANYTHING on the air to make a ruble. |
| Date | 14:35:34, October 04, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party of Kalistan | To | Debating the Tax Cut Act |
| Message | Ah, well. I am willing to remove Article 2 from the bill to make it more agreeable for you. |
| Date | 14:52:47, October 05, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Patriots' League | To | Debating the Tax Cut Act |
| Message | These tax cuts are getting out of control. Every week there is another tax cut. Perhaps we should make the tax rate zero; THAT WOULD STOP THESE BLASTED TAX CUTS. |
