| In order to make sure that we have enough available funds at any given time without being forced into debt we propose the following changes to the income tax code under a progressive taxation system.

| Message | Why do you have double percentage brackets? couldn\'t you just use one bracket. |
| Date | 04:29:36, November 12, 2008 CET | From | Liberal Social Democratic Republicans | To | Debating the Gov.0033.2664 |
| Message | We approve but will submit our own alternative. |

| Message | The double brackets are to cover income areas, rather then a certain income. LSDR, only the minister of inance may propose spending and/or tax legislation. |

| Message | You misunderstand me. > 40,000 SEK 35% 14,886,000,000 SEK > 45,000 SEK 35% 13,478,000,000 SEK > 50,000 SEK 35% 13,478,000,000 SEK you are taxing 3 different greater than groups >40k, >45k, >50k all at 35%. Since 45k and 50k are both greater than 40k isn\'t this a bit redundant, since it could be achieved by just placing >40k at 35%, and then having your next percentile increase at > 55k be 40% do exactly the same thing with fewer brackets? or am I missing something terribly less obvious? |

| Message | Great, increase taxes by 20%. |
