| Message | You must remember that we have a corporation tax. Therefore we are just putting more money into our pocket, and "robbing" from the people. Where as if they work in the library in a government job which we support, we are giving back that unfair robbery. Also they make a more stable wage, and are less likely to hate the government as we are their employers. |

| Message | Yeah if fully aware of the corporation tax, I have tried to abolish it a few times already. Well even if they work in a government job we are still charging a pretty high income tax, so they might still end up hating the government if they dont like taxes, but the money they dont have to repay through the corporation tax they can use to pay there emplyes, and hopefully make a little profit so they can keep the jobs safe |
