Message | I think the cuts on the Sales taxes are too steep, other than that, I agree. |

Message | I wasn't sure to go with the sales tax, I just felt that it needed to be cut. Any suggestion as to where to place it? Perhaps 4 or 5 percent? |

Date | 15:18:16, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Red Star Movement | To | Debating the Jacobin Economic Plan |
Message | I feel the tax on luxury goods is perhaps too high, but it should never be as low as 15%. |
Date | 16:46:27, February 21, 2006 CET | From | New Daio Party | To | Debating the Jacobin Economic Plan |
Message | Income taxes are counterproductive and reduce economic freedoms. To compensate, the sales taxes have to be steep. On the plus, having sales taxes alone gives people far more economic freedom, and can actually pay more or less in taxes. |
Date | 17:39:32, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Jacobin Society | To | Debating the Jacobin Economic Plan |
Message | How about this, the 10% sales tax is left alone, and the luxury tax is lifted to 20% |
Date | 22:58:37, February 21, 2006 CET | From | the liberal front | To | Debating the Jacobin Economic Plan |
Message | child labor is a define no we are not the savage goverment of the past age |
Date | 23:10:56, February 21, 2006 CET | From | New Daio Party | To | Debating the Jacobin Economic Plan |
Message | Once the income tax is eliminated the essential goods tax will need to be increased... or spending could be cut, of course. |
