| Date | 22:14:40, November 08, 2008 CET | From | Hulstrian Labor Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2662 |
| Message | A Complete removal of the taxation of workers who earn under 15 000 HCR. That is the 2, 5 and 8% brackets. |
| Date | 22:44:59, November 08, 2008 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2662 |
| Message | A complete removal isn\'t really that needed, a lower tax perhaps would work but not a complete removal. The revenue lost will shrink the surplus in years to come. Lower taxes yes, no taxes at all now. |

| Message | A re-adjustment will be offered after this bill fails. |
| Date | 06:09:30, November 09, 2008 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2662 |
| Message | We can maintain a more than 20 billion crown a year surplus even after eliminating the 2, 5, and 8 percent brackets. There is no reason for those brackets other than to unduly burden the least well off Hulstrians and improperly inflate the balance of the Treasury. Our government can conduct its business and still have a surplus to spare without these intrusive taxes. |
