| Message | The ideal solution from our perspective, would be the total abolition of Income Tax. Whilst it seems workable for those on lower incomes, we strongly oppose that those on higher incomes should be taxed such a large amount. eg. Someone earning 70K would be taxed so much they would only take home 21K (if my calculations are correct)...?!??! No No No. |

| Message | 70% tax is completely insane. |
| Date | 17:30:16, February 18, 2006 CET | From | National Progressive Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of September 2187 |
| Message | I agree with SDP |
| Date | 04:23:47, February 19, 2006 CET | From | Bloc Socialiste | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of September 2187 |
| Message | This is more of an idealistic proposal than a real one. Although we would certainly oppose an abolition of income tax, we would warmly welcome a more workable proposal. |
