| Message | Let me explain the proposal. I propose cutting. So what do you see? Cutting. Easy, don't you agree? To further explain. The RCW has proposed in the bill Less Restrictive Economy a regulation concerning corporation tax and luxury goods tax. Currently he is winning, becuase people are abstaining. Now, no big deal and all, but let's think about it. First of all, it's important we cut spending. So what do we do with the money? We can either increase spending again, allocating it on the posts we deem neccesairy, or we can cut taxes. Now, currently we are earning about a huge amount of money. Just something in between, if you look at the budget proposal screen.. you see a whole lotta 0's. I saw them without ',' in between. That amount of 0's is scary I tell you. The huge amount of money that is in the hands of the government! Anyway, we are earning about 119,000,000,000. That's right, 9 zero's! Huge. And we are spending about 117,000,000,000. Huge. Now if we cut taxes exactly like RCW proposed, we'll earn 6,900,000,000 less. We're currently getting a lot of money from population taxes, now I propose we lower that too (see other bill). So cut spending, cut gaining. Let the money roll in society, amongst the people. Now, let's look at how we should cut spending. I basicly chose those, 1,000,000,000 for every post. I consider Justice, Infrastructure, Defence, Health and Education exceptions. Why? Well, let's start with Health, the biggest. We give a lot of money to the people through laws. Minimum wages, etc, so that's why I consider it still the biggest expense. But less then before if we cut population taxes. Now Justice, Infrastructure and Education. Justice to stop crime, which I consider quite important, Infrastructure to uphold the free public transport system, Education and Culture because Education is one of the most important aspects in life, and culture is of general importance to the nation. Defense.. well, we are not in a war, we are a peace loving country, and I consider 1 Million RCR enough for the expenses concering Defense. So what do you all think? I will push this to a vote later, because I believe there will be early elections after the current bills have passed. |

| Message | Because the less restrictive economy bill passed I think a radical change like this might become necessary. |
| Date | 01:25:01, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Lutte Féministe de Libération | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2178 |
| Message | This is bad. Raise taxes and reintroduce the high sales and luxury taxes we had before to increase revenue. We can not abandon the commitments we have made to our citizens. |
| Date | 04:06:19, February 02, 2006 CET | From |  Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2178 |
| Message | I really can't fathom why the Prime Minister's Office will do with 1 billion... Surely all he needs is a modest salary and room and travel expenses to be paid. |
| Date | 04:38:26, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Devout Ecologists Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2178 |
| Message | LPP, noticed how the taxes were decreased? We need to compensate. Or do you want a deficit? Raising taxes is obviously not going to work if they were decreased lately, instead of increased. We need to cut spending. |
