| Message | no need fo the caps. But we agree with what the MSP says, it's an unessecary tax that will do no good. |
| Date | 23:13:36, August 11, 2007 CET | From | Revolutionary Socialist Front | To | Debating the Corporate Tax Increase |
| Message | It's pointless to rest on our laurels just because we have a surplus in our budget. We also have education, health, transportation and welfare systems that are constantly in need of improvement. A 15% tax rate isn't going to destroy our economy, as the CCS pointed out they will cope (just like in RL), and with this act in place we can improve funding for key amenities while retaining our budget surplus. |

| Message | What kid of socialist party wants to leave corporate taxation at 2%? It's better to tax corporations than it is to tax people directly, despite what capitalists say. |
| Date | 03:52:29, August 12, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Corporate Tax Increase |
| Message | We are in favor of a slight increase, but a massive increase like this will send our economy into absolute shock. It will take years for it to recover, and it will only be after it is lowered again. |
| Date | 14:44:21, August 12, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Corporate Tax Increase |
| Message | Cooperations are the hearth of every nation. We do not want to destroy them. |

| Message | Taxing them won't ruin the economy. That's like saying taxing the people 15% would ruin the homes. At the VERY WORST, taxing corporations is as bad as taxing households. |
| Date | 19:12:47, August 13, 2007 CET | From | Socialist Party of Greater Hulstria | To | Debating the Corporate Tax Increase |
| Message | You are very naive. This will DESTROY our economy. |
