Message | The government should not be allowed to take ones earnings without prior approval from that person, to do so is theft and is illegal under law. Taxation is another form of theft and should therfore be barred. |
Date | 22:24:35, February 09, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Republican Party | To | Debating the End Theftation |
Message | The luxury tax brings in a huge amount of revenue. We would prefer that income tax is eliminated. This proposal would also put us into a deficit. |
Date | 22:27:17, February 09, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the End Theftation |
Message | We too would prefer income tax to e ended however we cannot propose that, and we suspect that the finance Minister is not about to do so. Therefore the only taxes we can cut are these ones. Also if there is a deficit then the government will need to cut spending. |
Date | 23:24:34, February 09, 2006 CET | From | Democratic-Republican Party | To | Debating the End Theftation |
Message | If you cut these, we will not cut spending. The taxes will be raised. Your "end theftation" act will only cause an increase elsewhere. |

Message | Threatening the population of Hutori of hardships if one of their representatives may be the left wing's way of governing, but it is not The Libertarian way. We hope the electorate can take note of the DRP's comments, they have now shown themselves for what they are, a bunch of left-wing bully boys! Hardly democratic! |
