Date | 01:13:51, June 05, 2012 CET | From | Communist Party of Jelbania | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 3314 |
Message | This taxation proposal will take the poorest out of tax altogether, and will ensure the rich pay their fair share. It will also allow us to invest more money into key government departments in a new budget. Recommended by Stefanie Hasenkamp, Minister of Finance. |
Date | 05:25:22, June 05, 2012 CET | From | Jelbanian Democratic Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 3314 |
Message | The Freedom Party tentatively agrees, though warily; the entire tax system as is seems scud. |
Date | 06:07:15, June 05, 2012 CET | From | Democratic Front | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 3314 |
Message | The Democratic party does believe that an overhaul of taxes is needed but having the rich possibly pay close to half their wages in taxes is unfair. |
Date | 14:32:11, June 05, 2012 CET | From | United New Jelbania | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 3314 |
Message | We share the same view as that of the Democratic Party. We fear that the policies of the LGBT unjustly burdens the working and business class, and would ultimately scare off investors. |

Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
