| Message | This would only increase the burden on the people. We will not support either the abolishment or loweing of this tax. |
| Date | 17:08:47, April 03, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Abolition of Corporation Tax |
| Message | The people are carrying the burden anyway. When corporations are taxed, they simply push their extra costs on the people. Besides, there are all sorts of benefits to the economy by destroying the corporate tax, and we only gain a very small amount of money from it. |
| Date | 23:49:28, April 03, 2007 CET | From | S.C.A.F.R. | To | Debating the Abolition of Corporation Tax |
| Message | This is a crazy bill. Corporation's taxation is necessary. We are strongly against. |
| Date | 23:53:30, April 03, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Abolition of Corporation Tax |
| Message | Why are they necesary? They only end up at the consumer's feet, they hurt our ability to compete internationally, and they barely provide any revenue. Would one of you please explain why you think the corporation tax isn't necesary? |
| Date | 17:20:12, April 05, 2007 CET | From | Aldegar Freedom Party | To | Debating the Abolition of Corporation Tax |
| Message | Corporation tax is NOT nessicary. It is the interventionist government's way of robbing and punishing corporations - those same corporations that inject huge revenue directly into our nation's economy! We have to stop punishing successful corporations - why discourage success; shouldn't we be ENcouraging it? The TCP apologises - we forgot momentarily that communists and marxists aim to destroy the economy from the inside, not help it. |
