| Message | Historic as in a few hundred years ago? I don't think so. Sekowo has used these two tax rates for a century already and it worked out just fine. Oppose. |
| Date | 23:50:42, September 18, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Independent Party | To | Debating the DSP.282.2638 |
| Message | We should not punishment business for government excess. Our primary goal should be to limit government spending on things that are not beneficial to the people of Sekowo. |

| Message | It has been less the one-hundred years since these taxes were changed. Further more, while we don't actively pursue it (and probably wont for awhile) we are of the opinion that businesses and corporations (not the public and communitarian kind) should be punished for existing in the same place as they are nothign but the result of capitalism. OOC: Have to throw in some extremism every once in awhile. |

| Message | The DSP speaks of business as if it were a living entity. Does the DSP realize that these "evil" businesses are in fact run by the same citizens that the DSP is attempting to "free" from the "evil" businesses they themselves engage with willingly? |

| Message | We view corporations/businesses and people willingness to associate with them as the result of capitalism being ingrained into society starting at a young age, we ultimately (IE not gonna happen unless Sekowo gets alot of Socialist and/or Communist parties) seek to dismantle capitalism and have people live in an economically communitarian and socially free state (as in state of being, not nation-state. |
