Date | 21:54:06, October 06, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 3556 |
Message | We propose, as a compromise: 10,000 - 25% 20,000 - 40% 35,000 - 50% 50,000 - 60% Which would raise 468 billion and allow further investments in health and other vital areas. |

Message | In the interest of keeping the government stable and decreasing our huge national debt, the KMA is willing to support this bill if it is later accompanied by small budget cuts that can be negotiated on. Mathias Lein (Hent) Minister of Trade and Industry |

Message | Arbeiderpartiet, which only received half the votes that VG did, is hardly in a position to get things all its own way in negotiations over appropriate income tax levels. As VG has already stated our party's programme demands a top rate of 90% and anything less than 60% is completely unacceptable to our voters. If this proposal is put forward in its current form we will have no choice but to vote against it. |

Message | Then you may vote against it - but you should bear in mind - as often is the case to remind yourselves - that you do not speak for the majority of Kazulia - you do not hold a majority of seats. |
Date | 23:28:47, October 07, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 3556 |
Message | Arbeiderpartiet should bear in mind that it only received 14% of the vote in the last election and that its interests lie surely in working with the other parties of the left to create a progressive government for all the people of Kazulia. Its refusal to cooperate with De venstregrønne is unfortunate and can only serve to empower the right-wing parties that are determined to destroy Kazulia's social model and increase inequality in our country. |
Date | 23:30:50, October 07, 2013 CET | From | Nye Alliansen | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 3556 |
Message | DVG should bear in mind that working together requires compromise - as usual their ability to do so is hampered by their own egocentric view of the world. They make it impossible for the left to unite under one banner - if anyone is putting a socially just Kazulia at risk it is them. |
Date | 23:33:38, October 07, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 3556 |
Message | Arbeiderpartiet wants a top rate of 50% while De venstregrønne wants a top rate of 90%. A true compromise would therefore have been 70% but De venstregrønne went even further than this and was willing to go as low as 60%. Yet apparently even this is not good enough for Arbeiderpartiet - a party which only received half the votes that we did. |
Date | 23:41:14, October 07, 2013 CET | From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of November 3556 |
Message | This is the tax proposal VG would propose it it had a majority in parliament: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=388007 As Arbeiderpartiet can surely see the actual proposal we decided to put forward is far closer to what Arbeiderpartiet wants than what VG and its voters would have wanted to see. Unfortunately VG's willingness to compromise is not shared by Arbeiderpartiet which wants everything its own way. |
