| Message | Masive tax increases? Noooo!! |
| Date | 17:06:20, October 20, 2008 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2654 |
| Message | We totally oppose these unnecessary tax increases. We should be cutting wasteful spending, in areas such as Defence, and encouraging private reform, while also cutting taxes, as well as increasing spending in areas such as Health and Education. Ingrid Baptiste Shadow Finance Minister Deputy Party Leader |

| Message | With the prospect of war looming we need to increase funding into Defence, also with a growing population we need to be able to invest into the infrastructure of Telamon not make cuts. |

| Message | This is absolute irresponsibility on the part of this maverick government. Government spending is already disgustingly out of control, and Telamonians are being asked to pick up the bill on more and more wasteful proposals. We emphatically declare this unnecessary tax increase a shameless gouging of hard working Telamonian citizens. We will not stand idly by as this government adopts a blank check policy, simply increasing taxes as they get bored of their old budget. The "looming war" which the TNP falsely speaks of refers to a declaration of war from a party with no money, no supporters, no presence in any government, and no seats in any legislative body. This situation is absolutely being taken advantage of by the TNP to seize a desired increase in taxes. Allegra Cabrazi Chairwoman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |

| Message | What Mrs Cabrazi fails to grasp here is that the party in question is a new party in Telamon and as not fought any elections as of yet however they will be contesting the next elections as things stand. That will mean that there is a very high chance of them picking up seats and playing a major role in the decision making process of the senate of Lodamun. Paul Jones, Foreign Affairs Minister. |
| Date | 23:27:10, October 21, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2654 |
| Message | Once again, it would seem that the TNP is either misinformed or misleading. The party in question will not be picking up any seats in the next election, as they are no longer even a recognized political party by the government of Endralon. Allegra Cabrazi Chairwoman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
