Message | Corporations, although seen as many to be a big and evil do serve the country and set the economic climate for all the citizens. This bill is unnecessarily harsh on the corporations and childishly unrealistic in abolishing taxation on food and non-luxury clothing. |

Message | This would create a larger deficit... It would be nice to not have sales tax, but we need it to keep Endralon ticking. |
Date | 22:48:03, October 17, 2010 CET | From | People's Independence Party | To | Debating the Taxation Fairness Bill |
Message | Increasing the Corporation Tax will drive away businesses, harming our economy. |
Date | 23:08:27, October 17, 2010 CET | From | Social Liberal Republicans (PET) | To | Debating the Taxation Fairness Bill |
Message | The money that families kept in their pockets due to the cut in sales tax would undoubtably be spent back into the economy, thus stimulating growth, and increasing the profits of the corporations. The taxation loss from the abolition of sales tax would be recouped by the increase in corporation taxation. |

Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
