| Date | 02:21:30, March 24, 2014 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Consumption Tax |
| Message | We would support a proposal distinguishing between luxury and essential goods, with a lesser rate on the latter. |
| Date | 17:08:47, March 24, 2014 CET | From | Likatonian Bitter Cynics | To | Debating the Consumption Tax |
| Message | So, a proposal to jack up the luxury tax in order to penalize those tacky nouveau-riche bastards for buying their way up the social ladder, accompanied by a new regressive tax to stick it to the poor (with the promise of eliminating the income tax so the honest working poor don't get shut out)? We like it. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
