| Message | A 0% Sales Tax is unrealistic. We will agree upon 9-12% |
| Date | 19:21:53, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Tukarali Ultra-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | 9-12% for Corporations, 12-16% for Luxuary, and 2% on Essentials. |
| Date | 19:22:24, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Tukarali Ultra-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | Or, 9-12% for Luxuary. |
| Date | 19:28:23, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Aliança Real de Tukarali 👑 | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | The budget situation allows for our proposed tax system while still maintain a surplus. There is no reason to have these taxes if they're just going into a government treasure chest. |
| Date | 19:31:10, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Tukarali Ultra-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | You are partially correct. But, what happens when the times comes that we must run a budget deficit? It is best to have reserves of cash from previous years of good fortune. Not to mention, we may wish to raise government spending in certain areas, such as Education and Military in the near future. |
| Date | 19:34:56, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Aliança Real de Tukarali 👑 | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | Education could be a potential area where spending may or may not be raised. As for the military, there is no reason to raise its budget, if anything it should be cut. Cutting the military budget would allow the cut funds to be transferred to education, therefore leading again to not needing to have a ridiculously large surplus. |
| Date | 19:36:26, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Tukarali Ultra-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | But, we must maintain our strong military to protect our national interests. Secondly, what if we are drawn into an international conflict, or domestic conflict? Plus, a weak military is seen as a weak government, both my our constituents and international forces. |

| Message | Tukarali has not been in an international conflict for many many decades and that won't change. As for domestic conflict, the only thing we could see happening is the Tukarese people rising against minority rule and oppression, which isn't bad at all. |
| Date | 19:42:40, February 20, 2010 CET | From | Tukarali Ultra-Conservative Party | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | We have attempted a compromise. If our efforts are not met by equal efforts from your side, then we will be forced to vote no, and this will have served little to no purpose. |
| Date | 09:51:41, February 21, 2010 CET | From | SARP - Fronte Nazionale di Liberazione | To | Debating the Taxation Freedom Act of 2897 |
| Message | Having 0% taxation for corporration has the following economical consequences: 1. The government is funding corporations in a hidden way: it gives to corporations services (locallly and at national level: as central bank, economic steering, logistical services, garbage, welfare....etc etc) that corporation are not paying for. 2. The Gov transfer money from the buckets of citizens to the ones of corporations. 3. It has no impact on real economy. |
