| Message | This sets up a very fair flat tax rate (only 12%) that collects large sums of money from the rich, and smaller amounts from the poor. I should also add that this will raise revenue by over 1 trillion QUA a year. |
| Date | 18:09:24, March 10, 2006 CET | From | Green Socialists | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2197 |
| Message | I am against flat tax rates because I believe that they favor the rich and harm the poor. A progressive tax rate is the only way to ensure fairness and propserity to all citizens. Currently I believe that our tax system is sufficient because we are making a surplus that we can't even send fast enough. Raising taxes is unnecessary in my opnion. |

| Message | i am against flat tax rates as well. we have a $46 billion dollar surplus, as green socialists said, we don't need any more revenue as we stand. |
