| Date | 18:31:19, November 20, 2008 CET | From | Progress Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of May 2668 |
| Message | Almost flat tax, 20% on the rich, 10% on the poor. That meaning up to 7,000 (10%) and above (20%) - We could remove the lower bracket. |

| Message | Following a ideology is one thing, but compromise and adaptation is so much better. Our party does what it thinks is best. We will not hold to an ideology when there is a better solution. |
