Message | "This bill is a disgrace. while we applaud an attempt to balancing the books this should be done through raising taxes on those that can afford them not cutting services. This bill will not harms Liberty and their wealthy chums, but the poorest in our society will see the drawbridge rolled up. Liberty are utilising the chaotic frivolity of the current coalition to push through ideological cuts in the guise of fiscal responsibility." - Nina Fursten (Health and Social Services spokesperson) |
Date | 11:43:40, July 12, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | Liberty are staunchly opposed to the far-left knee-jerk response of "raising taxes on -the rich-'" as a panacea for all the nations ills. Spending is out of control. It's time to take back control. - Derren Seyne (L-Liberty) |
Date | 11:46:20, July 12, 2018 CET | From | Beluzia Socialist People's Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | "As there is currently relatively no taxation on the rich, I hardly think it is a knee-jerk nor a leftist response to want some taxation. I'm sure the citizens of Beluzia will see it this way. Our corporation tax rise could have scuppered us at the last election, but we were the only party willing to take that hit and push that legislation." - Sonia Mellencamp |
Date | 13:00:04, July 12, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | Liberty are sure the citizens of Beluzia would prefer to keep their money in their own pockets rather than hand it over to a bloated, freedom killing bureaucracy to misuse. We are sure those with the financial clout to be able to start businesses and employ people would see it the same way too. It's time to end the government dependency mentality. |
Date | 13:12:12, July 12, 2018 CET | From | United Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | “A few of these things benefit tax payers by providing acces to libraries, and in cases of need abortions, it’s not robbing the people of their money if the money goes to helping them.” |
Date | 17:44:16, July 12, 2018 CET | From | Beluzian Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | We support this bill, the Wewecho Pantafloja Miracle Foundation is already making several bids to purchase these libraries and sport clubs, however it has given certain doubts on whether it is a good idea to remove government subsidies on private schools, the official position being that doing so will force a tuition rise. But they have told the BDP to support the bill. |
Date | 20:00:59, July 12, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | "If". The wide spectrum of politics putting forward competing bills would suggest that question hasn't been fully resolved yet. |
Date | 00:27:46, July 13, 2018 CET | From | Beluzia Socialist People's Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | "So take away your bill. Scratch a liberty, a BDP bleeds." - Jurgen Spizman (Sonia Mellencamp is on holiday) |
Date | 01:06:25, July 13, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | Liberty are one such party asking the question about government waste. Why would we remove our bill? Or is the BDSP's commitment to free speech really that frail? |
Date | 01:20:05, July 13, 2018 CET | From | Beluzia Socialist People's Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | "We said that we are committed to "free speech with responsibility". Such as the freedom to be responsible to name a party correctly." |
Date | 01:27:05, July 13, 2018 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Spending Reducation Act (Jul 4422) - Liberty |
Message | The BDSP are simply wrong on this one. |
