| Message | Mr. Speaker, The corporation tax does not bring in a satisfying amount of revenue. When we raise taxes on, say, oil companies, those companies have trouble doing further research that could lead to finding more oil which will result in lower prices. Also, by taxing the geese that lay the golden egg, we will cause job losses and maybe cause businesses to leave the nation outright. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The people need money, not the government. Companies provide work and work is an objective moral good. The federal government does nothing more than re-distribute money. This bill is a hindrance on the people and should be voted against. I yield the floor. |
