| Message | why should corporations not pay anything for taxes. it does not make sence. |
| Date | 18:15:13, March 17, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation Tax |
| Message | With the current budget we dont need to tax the corporations because we already have a budget surplus. Also, since corporations dont pay tax they can use the money they would otherwise need to pay in tax to expand and therby creating more jobs, better equipment, better safety at work etc. |

| Message | Yes, those are good points but just because they don't pay tax doesn't mean that they'll automatically just assume that they need to have better equipment and better safety. It means they have more money to spend on improving the workplace, but are more likely to take it as income. Expansion would happen anyways but at a slower better managed rate, with that we can over look what is happening to are country. And we need the tax because we are in the process of expanding our navy for Lodanova.... and URP said we would need approx. 52,000,000,000 LOD. We can't get that ammount with our regular surplus. I agree with you CPL, and will be voting yes! |

| Message | If we need 7 billion more LOD for the military, I think we should just rebalance the budget and cut some of the other budget posts to free up money for the military. Also how much extra LOD will 10% corporation tax bring to our budget? |
| Date | 23:14:26, March 19, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation Tax |
| Message | Because of the 40 Billion surplus we already have on the budget we dont need the tax to afford the navy modernisation |
