| Message | Just a note, the GDP per capita of our nation is something to the tune of 33,000 DRA. This income tax scheme, combined with our increased luxury tax and corporation tax, which by the way, though you may view as oppressive are still far, FAR less than most first world country's, will allow us to maintain a healthy surplus whilst maintaining government spending somewhere to the tune of 0.6-1% of GDP, which once again for first world governments is still very very small. |

| Message | Again ,the Liberal Union is willing to support this, but notes perhaps we should utilise the current budget before moving to vote. |
| Date | 13:20:44, August 17, 2009 CET | From | Drasciian New Left | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of May 2803 |
| Message | Same as the corporate and luxury tax proposal. After calculations it appears to me utilizing the current revenue to create an actual worthwhile budget is like using the funds sufficient to keep a city council running to run an entire country. |
