| Date | 21:54:49, December 13, 2005 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2155 |
| Message | We are currently running a surplus of 14,495,028,867 per year. The RLP proposes reducing the tax rates to 35%, along with some minor reductions in spending. This will generate a surplus of 183,000,000 per year. We feel that this is sufficient when looked at along with the reserves built up under the previous budget We are interested in other party's viewpoints with respect to these changes. |

| Message | The most important (to the AAS) concerns of Infrastructure, Health and Education appear untouched... and reductions in spending are minor... the largest being to the Finance Department itself, we believe? This is an excellent proposal. The RLP is to be congratulated. |

| Date | 14:19:00, December 14, 2005 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2155 |
| Message | If the PSS could suggest a corresponding cut in some other area to preserve the balance, we would be happy to consider any adjustments. |
| Date | 19:25:05, December 14, 2005 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2155 |
