| Message | Lowering taxes on corporations are insane. |
| Date | 04:54:20, July 25, 2008 CET | From | Green, Liberal and Left | To | Debating the Laissez Faire Act |
| Message | Lowering taxes on corporations will boost economic growth substantially and benefit everybody. Yet again we question who the Communist Party is calling insane seeing as they follow the twisted ideology of Marxist-Leninism. The PPP has absolute respect for many forms of Marxism, but Leninism is a complete betrayal of everything good about Marx. |
