Message | This seems reasonable enough, although I might change article 3 at some point... |
Date | 18:07:16, June 17, 2007 CET | From | Assembly for an Humanist Democracy (AHD) | To | Debating the Economic Reform |
Message | AHD does not agree with gated communities policies. So vote against AHD consider that national industries shall be sometimes helped against international concurence AHD, whereas agreeing for a lower tax on corportations profit can't agree with a so low rate as 10% We therefore only agree on article 4 and shall vote against the Bill |

Message | You dont have to agree with gated communities to vote with article 1, you just have to accept that people have a right to live where they want, and if there is demand for gated communities then private companies should be the ones to build them. The government should not be involved in giving hand-out to its industry for any reason, since that involves spending peoples tax money. If people want to get involved in businesses, it is better to not tax them and allow them to invest the money themselves. 10% seems a reasonable corporate tax, any more and we would seriously hinder industry growth, and our countries wealth. |
