| Message | The MSPoH believes that this is a fair tax cut for the upper and extreme low brackets of our population. It also creates a new bracket for the extremely rich citizens of Hobrazia, mostly the political elite and ensures that we maintain a solid income from taxes. |
| Date | 20:09:18, January 12, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Income tax proposal of June 2343 |
| Message | So, you reduce taxes for everyone and then negate that reduction by increasing taxes on anyone over 40,000 HCR's whilst still not matching the income levels we have now, sounds a bit cock-eyed to us... |
