| Message | This raises taxes on the poorest of society, but it isn't by that much. We will back this to create a surplus. |

| Message | TKP will vote no |
| Date | 13:37:48, October 29, 2015 CET | From | Socialdemokratiska Partiet (SDP) | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of April 3929 |
| Message | Funding a surplus simply by lowering the line at which income is taxed, so that any salary between 100 and 500 TPD is taxed at 15%, is not only socially unacceptable but morally despicable and economically unsustainable as well. To even propose such a move shows the extent to which the Republicans believe in oppressing the working class and securing the hegemony of the richest. The SDP is utterly opposed to this proposition.

| Message | Herr Talman, Where did the Social democrats take their mathematics? >100 TPD means that 100 TPD and all the way up to 3000 TPD is taxed 15%, any income from 3000 up to 4000 is taxed by 20% etc. |
