From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | The people should get the tax breaks, not the corporations. I don't oppose lowering the taxes for corporations but not eliminate them. |

From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | This tax effects the people because the money they spend on this tax could be spent on getting more jobs, or higher salaries.
But we do agree on giving people tax breaks too, but we are happy to see that this bill gets a majority of the votes :) |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | Corporation owners will keep the money for themselves, that's how capitalism works. And yes, taxpayers should pay less taxes. |

From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | Corporations will use those money to expand and get bigger, thats also how capitalsim works. Corporation owners wont keep all the money for themself, they will rather let the money stay in the company as long as they retain ownership because if they take money out they will have to pay tax. |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | If they take the money out they won't have to pay anything because it is corporation profits and according to this bill, corporation profits won't be taxed. Not all the money is going to go to the corporation, they are going to keep some of it. |

From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | If they take the money out for themself that counts on there income tax. Yeah corporation profits wont be taxed, but if private people take money out thats there income so its taxed. The corporation tax only applies to the corporations profit, it does not transfer over to money taken out off the corporations by shareholders |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | I would support if we had any guarantee that jobs would be created or salaries would be higher. I just don't want that money to go overseas to another country. |
| Date | 04:13:16, May 04, 2008 CET |
From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | Well do you have any evidence the money will go overseas? Most of our companies are owned by our own citizens (offcourse there is a few exeptions, but thats just how it is in a capitalist economy) |
| Date | 04:15:34, May 04, 2008 CET |
From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | I don't have any evidence that it will go overseas, I sure hope it doesn't. I only wish there was a guarantee that jobs will be created, if that was possible, I would vote yes. |
| Date | 04:35:03, May 04, 2008 CET |
From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | The corporation get more captial, which it can use to invest to make a bigger profit, which in turn will allow it to expand, which in turn will create more jobs. Thats about the only guarantee I can give you, since the minister of finance tries to get involved in the economy, prefering to let the economy run itself |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | You mean tries not to get involved. I don't know. I have to think about it. You don't need my vote anyways, it has a majority already. |
| Date | 05:27:59, May 04, 2008 CET |
From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Corporation tax | | Message | Yeah I mean tries not to get involved, made a type. Yeah your vote dosent really matter, but I like debating stuff like this :) |
