| Message | A 2% raise on sales tax could easily be used to help subsidize child benefits. A 3% raise on corporate taxation would add to funding which can be re-dispersed through future legislation, making the corporations helpful to more than just Joe Consumer in the long run. I also suggest that another party introduce legislation to help utilize the increased corporate tax, which will be voted on in due time. |
