| Message | While we support the increase in corporation tax and luxury goods tax, a 20% tax on essentials is outrageous. We oppose this bill. |
| Date | 19:44:26, July 29, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party | To | Debating the Tax Reform - PLP |
| Message | We understand DSP is on this stance. Though currently people are taxed by 80%. That's outrageous. |
| Date | 22:43:38, July 29, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Tax Reform - PLP |
| Message | Only income--not people--above 15000 RUT is taxed at 80%. Only a tiny percentage of Rutanians make that much. At the same time, a 20% tax on essential goods would only drive our poorest citizens into poverty. Such a tax is cruel and regressive. |

Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up." - Pastor Martin Niemoller |
