| Message | Mr. Speaker, A tax rate of 100% on the profit of private corporations will eliminate private enterprise in Dorvik altogether. This is a retrograde, irresponsible step which will wreck our economy and stifle the aspirations of our people. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Any half-brained economist knows that the right mix of regulation and private enterprise is what drive any successful economy. This tax will not improve the lives of our nations people, rather will lower the standard of living for all except the GSP and CPD officials in office who will no doubt be lining their back pockets with the state revenue this tax will generate. |
