| Message | We have made 2 attempts to reform the taxation system and shift the burden from hard working families to big coroporations. Our first attempt, we accecpt was a little too ambitious (zero level of sales tax on essential basic items) Our second attempt we believed was more realistic (to shift the burden 5% away from sales tax and 5% extra to corporation tax) At what level would we have agreement for a change. Could I suggest 2.5% change? We invite other parties to share their thoughts. We believe the change is justified because the extra money which would be given back to hard working families is likely to be spent back into the economy, thus boasting the profits of business thus enabling them to foot the tax short fall. |

| Message | The problem is however, that a 2.5% difference in Sales Tax may not be equal to a 2.5% difference to Corporation tax. Furthermore, be that as it may, increasing the Corporation Tax may still drive business away from Endralon. |

| Message | To counter PIP, most of our country's companies are owned by the government in some way. This tax would only cover a slight amount of businesses who receive many subsidies already. I'm indifferent to corporate, but I would like to see sales go down. |
