| Message | Our non-luxury goods have no sales tax on them. Luxury goods have a moderate tax on them, as to take money from the upper classes (who are the people who but luxury goods) to get as close as possible to income equality. |

| Message | Do you understand the effect this would have on our economy? We need this tax, since there is no sales tax on necessities and free and public healthcare and education. Those have to be paid for somehow. |
| Date | 17:04:29, February 14, 2017 CET | From | Partiya Koumoullosia Republika | To | Debating the Sales Tax Re-negotiations |
| Message | Then we must allow some sectors of private healthcare as well as private education! Simple as that, Chancellor. Some parts of this country MUST be changed. |
| Date | 17:24:38, February 14, 2017 CET | From | Sotsialisticheskaya Rabochaya Partiya | To | Debating the Sales Tax Re-negotiations |
| Message | If you are really a party of the people as you claim you would not have the audacity to privatize healthcare and education, which are and should remain basic human rights accesible yo every Trigunia no matter their wealth. |
