| Message | Mr. Speaker, We support Article 2 and Article 5. We would also consider supporting Article 1. However, Article 3 is blatant corruption and Article 4 as we have continuously had to remind the UNMP is unecessary. In all, we must oppose. |
| Date | 23:03:31, April 28, 2011 CET | From | Imperial National Party | To | Debating the Last 3112 Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, By the time the elections are over, we are going to raise taxes on corporations by 15% and return Keymon to its people. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, If you reinstate corporation tax and essential and luxury goods tax you will destroy the economy and shrink it considerably - be warned. We would like you to explain your latter comments.. how can a party that supports big government and extremely corrupt policies possibly say that we have taken Keymon away from the people? We haven't. We've reduced the size of government considerably, reinstalled civil liberites and liberated the economy. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Before these entire dramatic conservative, reforms were made; keymon was in a stable condition. We had most taxes on the rich and a fair tax on corporations. Now we tax the poor and let big business run free, which is simply unacceptable. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, What are these 'dramatic conservative reforms' the UNMP speak of? I believe they said that they would set-up labour camps in Keymon? Clearly the UNMP are the conservative party - they do not like change - whether it be good change in the case of our reforms or bad change. We have brought economic success to everyone. You say you were taxing the rich but you were also taxing the poor. We have taken the poorest out of the income tax bracket altogether so they don't have to pay tax and we have reduced tax for everyone else, allowing the wealth to trickle down to the poorest members of society. We abolished essential goods tax which has helped the poor and families a great deal. And remember, corporations are owned by shareholders who are, afterall, people. If companies do not have to pay tax then they can create more profit for their shareholders and as a result, lower their prices. Regarding privatisation, it allows any Keymonite the opportunity to set up their own business and makes it easier for them to make money. Your proposals, as it appears you're more than willing to flush the economic growth down the toilet, to reinstall tax will make everyone poorer. Undoing our economic reforms will have more than eocnomic consequences for your party to deal with. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, First, about the labor camps, you are correct we have to set them up to reeducate people and to put dangerous people in. now we must tax corporations to save us from taxing the poor. Our economy was doing fine during the period before these reforms. We are a party that looks out for our fellow people. |
| Date | 23:41:41, April 28, 2011 CET | From | Keymon Republican Party | To | Debating the Last 3112 Reform Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, But we're not taxing the poor anyway. As we have said and proven, we have taken them out of the income tax bracket altogether. How can you say the economy was doing fine before the reforms? The economy grew by almost 10% in 1 month after the reforms we implemented. Why are you against economic growth and why do you want to tax businesses when the revenue is not needed, when it would damage the economy, and when it would discourage new business from being created? Its not only the rich that own businesses, think of the plumbers, electricians, hairdressers and the like that you would make life harder for if you introduced corporation tax. I sincerely hope that the people do not vote for your party after you dire economic policies have been revealed. |
