| Message | Mr Speaker, this expropriation scheme is worse than anything Dranland has seen in recent years. We call on Parliament to reject the left's plan of destroying self-reliance and force everyone into state dependency. John Holbrooke MP Member for Valdor Minority Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Although we feel that the system will be too complicated (way too many rates0 this is part and parcel of creating a modern welfare state and making a decisive break with RFR driven fiscal feudalism. Jose Manana MP Majority Leader Member for Elbian |

| Message | Mr Speaker, while feudalism is a system wherein privileges are granted to a certain class determined by government arbitrariness, our policy was to let people keep the vast part of what they have rightfully earned, which is exactly the opposite. This government's policy is the real feudalist insanity, implementing large-scale redistributionism and establishing a privileged feudal class that is the state machinery and its bureucratic, unionized minions, who live off redistributing the money they have stolen from the taxpayers. The sole objective of this government is to establish the state as the almighty overlord of civil society. John Holbrooke MP Member for Valdor Minority Leader |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Certainly we can debate about what is feudalism. Is it allowing private armies as the RFR and her allies tried to do a few years ago or is it the proliferation of a modern welfare state with equality as the prime objective? Complete equality could never be achieved but that fact alone cannot rule out trying. Certainly it its better to allow millions of 'unionised minions' to dominate the state machinery rather than half a dozen or so RFR (amongst others) leaning corporate barons. Jose Manana III MP Majority Leader Member for Elbian |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I am sure that corporate barons aiming for influence in the state machinery are more tempted to vote for the morally degenerated Alliance, who have no problems with plundering taxpayers to pour their hard-earned money over corporations, union cartels and the farming business in the form of subsidies and other perverse atrocities. Under the RFR, corporations did not receive one DRA from the state, while the state let them keep what is theirs. Under the Alliance, redistribution craze without limits under the misleading banner of 'equality' has been established, and private property rights are trampled upon like never before. John Holbrooke MP Member for Valdor Minority Leader |
| Date | 17:57:31, July 22, 2013 CET | From | Red Freedom Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of February 3519 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bracket seems too close to justify the levels of tax percentage. Making only three to four thousand more DRA a year can cause tax percentage to jump by three percent. We believe this system needs to have broader brackets for the citizens of Dranland. We would be willing to vote yes if a new proposal was introduced that addresses this issue.
