| Message | CP's understand of 'corporation' is any company that is incorporated. Any increase in taxes results in loss of jobs, loss of revenue to reinvest. This is bad for the economy. Government does not get much from corporations. At 25% tax, the government takes 11 billion SEK. Since the tax is already too high and it provides little change except force company to close shop, this is a ridiculous proposal from the DSP. CP strongly opposes. |

| Message | We fully agree with the Conservative Party. Attacking corporations without providing any sort of alternative to corporations is insufficient. Raising taxes to increase income for the elite government officials under a guise of taking that money from "evil" corporations seems a bit counter-intuitive. Wouldn't it make more sense to drop all tax to 0% for individuals and corporations? (That's rhetorical, we don't support that either...) |
