| Message | This is a joke. The ULW voted against our Progressive Income Tax and yet they vote to raise the Sales tax on Food and non luxury items, which disproportionately impacts the poor. |
| Date | 15:28:47, October 26, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Taxes |
| Message | "We agree with the CNP on this one. Also, this question comes in play: why are we increasing revenue in the first place when we are being over-taxed to begin with? We are being taxed more than we need to. We should be cutting taxes right now, and we shouldn't be raising them." |
| Date | 19:14:48, October 26, 2015 CET | From | Social Democrats | To | Debating the Taxes |
| Message | We will propose our own taxing solution soon. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
