| Message | And everyone else. Why won't the Unionist be willing to vote for a bill if it raises taxes on non-luxury by only 1%. The middle class could easily pay that and the lower class probaly could as well. |
| Date | 11:00:51, September 04, 2011 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Federal Tax Reform |
| Message | "This only proved just how out of touch the FRRP is. The solution to Government spending more is not to take more of the people's money but to cut what it is spending. We have a LOWER population in this nation, not a higher one! Why on earth would we need to tax them more if they need much less services?" Michael Bryan, Former Finance Secretary. |

| Message | Taxation can get you out of debt, it will increase the national revenue. Increase taxes or cut spending those are your only two options. You won't vote to increase taxes and won't vote to cut spending, you have to try to get out of debt, not just wallow in it. -Sam Kennedy, FRPP financial advisor. |

| Message | "The Unionists have had a defecit reduction in place for years! Tax cuts in the right areas, no changes to tax and investment in health & education. These have all been made clear time after time for the last 50 years! These Progressionist lies need to stop!" Muchaen Bryan, Former Finance Secretary |
