| Message | look at how little this brngs in. clearly 35% IS A HUGE CHUNK. This money could be reinvested by corporations improving Lodamun for everyone. Since Lodamese are given a "living wage" there really is no reason they need a huge tax break anyway. |

| Message | It is possible to say how little this brings in, but it is equivalent to 5.3Billion, whereas the lowest tax brand only brings in 3.4 Billion, money which would also reinvested. |

| Message | We are all completely aware of how much the rich in the world would refuse to pocket theextra tax dollars saved. They would most definatley invest it into the lower classes of people. I just can't fathom why anyone would vote against such a legit bill that makes so much sense. |
