| Message | Whether the newly proposed budget is passed or not we can still cut taxes. This will cut the taxes of citizens by 50%-if you vote against this then you are voting against the people of Jakania :D |

| Date | 17:21:59, July 01, 2006 CET | From | Jakania Reform Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2247 |
| Message | So why do you oppose this? We don't need the money-you simply want us to keep taking money from individuals who need it? Right now we have about a 60 billion dollar surplus-this will STILL give us a 20 billion dollar surplus. To vote against this is insanity and ignorance. |

| Message | I have not seen the CPJ like this. A 20 billion surplus is good. |
| Date | 21:41:06, July 01, 2006 CET | From | Jakania Union Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of October 2247 |
| Message | We agree with the proposal, but point out that a 50% cut in taxes will leave the government with an 8 billion jakania surplus, not 20 billion. |
