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. |

Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
