Message | Should I add this to my "warning" bill? Just to clear it without a "vote no" thing? If I do so, only the proposal will be up for a vote, the rest is RP that happens no matter what the vote. |

Message | that sounds like a fair way to handle it. opposed to a 75% corp. tax though. Too much too soon, especially at a time when it is important to restore investor confidence. |

Message | while there is a crisis of business confidence, we see no reason to bring in a corporate tax at all. We believe this bill is a deliberate attempt to further damage the economy, and will oppose it absolutely. |

Message | "Sounds good to us, in all seriousness." Why the vote against? |
Date | 03:30:42, September 27, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Stealing from the Theives |
Message | Because this bill was presented when the market was completely private and the government did not intervene in it. |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
