| Message | Again, a bill well worth voting for. Lowering corperation tax increases investment in our economy, pushing up the number of jobs and the wages paid. |

| Message | Jobs would also be more widely available if the Welsh buggered off back to Gishoto! We are opposed to fat cat tycoons having their pockets lined with even more corporate profit and will vote against. |

| Message | I'm sure that many of those fat cat tycooons are your donors and supporters. You should vote for this, although it will not likely be for the same reasons that the rest of us support it. |

| Message | Corporation tax takes away large amounts of businesses' profit. Without profit, there can be no new investment; without new investment, there can be no new jobs. The Treasury has more than enough money to halve corporation tax. |

| Message | This cut in corperation tax can be met with the new proposed tax on luxury items. We can then ensure that we still have a budget to help the social needs of our citizens |

| Message | There is not even a need for that -- the current surplus is twelve figures. Even if corporation tax were to be eliminated altogether, there would still be over 70 billion DRA left to use. Tax increases are totally unnecessary right now. |
