| Message | This bill raises way too much revenue and is the opposite of a progressive taxation bill. The brackets with the higher incomes should have the highest percentages. |

| Message | Why? By taxing the rich at lower rates than the poor? |
| Date | 20:53:39, March 10, 2019 CET | From | Democratic Centralist Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of March 4543 |
| Message | It’s not about taxing the richer or the poor. It’s about bringing in revenue, to increase productivity of our country. We need to better address our country by working hard for the better of it. If you want services ruined to the ground, then so be it, but we are a party who care for our country and want the best for it. You betrayed us SDP, that does not get you anywhere in the world of politics. By making hideous remarks and furious outbursts of the tax proposal we believe you are annoyed that we joined with BDL? We do not associate with party politics. DCP |

| Message | Dear members of the Senat, the excellent finance minister of the DCP has proposed this and we could not think of a better proposal. We will of course support it to clean up with the mess the HDA created. Prime Minister and First Soldier Xaver Hintermooser (Soon to be elected) |

| Message | We simply cannot agree to such a bill, to tax the poorest in our nation and at a higher bracket than the more wealthy is illogical. - The Humanist Party. |
