| Mr Speaker, With this we give all of our citizens keep more of their hard-earned income, and also fully liberate those with the lowest earnings from income tax.

| Message | OOC: Is Income Tax proposal not supposed to be an exclusive prerogative of the Finance Minister? IC: Mr Speaker, As the gentleman says, this is still a regressive tax plan. On top of that, it significantly reduces our revenue and would necessitate a cut in spending which we are not prepared to make. This plan also means that those who take the most from the government in healthcare, education and welfare handouts would be giving absolutely nothing back. Mr Speaker, this plan is the definition of an abomination. Ionatan Groza Minister for Finance Kizenian Partidul Lucrătorilor |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The taxation of the people who are among the greatest customers of government-subsidized welfare services would automatically solve itself had not the Labour party and their "Hosian" communist allies abolished the consumption tax which is mostly paid by precisely those people and also serves and environmentalist purpose - stimulating less consumerism.

| Message | Also.. the income tax is supposed to go along with our Budget Plan and will lead to a balanced budget. In the future when we reintroduce the sales tax on ordinary consumption we will push for eliminating income tax entirely. Sándor Magyar Taxes Spokesperson Freedom Front |
