| Message | Mr Speaker, I stand before you today with a new taxation proposal that finally brings justice to all in this nation. One shall not be punished for your hard work and that is why we propose this new flat tax where you will pay the same no matter who you are. If you work hard and earn more then your hard work simply should not be punished by the state stealing your money! Anders Borg minster of Finance |

| Message | Mr Speaker, A billionaire should pay higher tax than his cleaner. I doubt that when you are that wealthy you really would starve without that money. Why not just abolish tax altogether if you hate 'the state stealing money'? Taylor Nickolas Unity Leader Unity MP |
